  • Homework for Teaching - 13 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Course Credit - 34 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim is to become familiar with the procedures for application of electromigration techniques.
Define and describe the basic relations and laws for the migration of charged species in electric field. Describe the main possibilities for influencing the ionic mobilities to achieve the effective separation. Discuss the changes of mobilities of ionic species by means of chiral selectors, complexing agents, organic solvents, etc. Apply the theoretical knowledge to ionic species migration to design electrophoretic separation.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of basics of analytical chemistry and instrumental methods of analytical chemistry is recommended.
