Normative activities, standards of quality, standard analytical procedures. Hierarchy of norms - ISO, ČSN. Good laboratory practice (GLP). Accreditation of procedures and laboratories. Inter-laboratory control, circular tests, international cooperation. Correct sampling, sampel treatment, strategy of analytical procedure choice (isolation, suppression of matrix effects, preconcentration, choice of proper of measurement and detection technique). Food analysis. Macro and micro components. Inorganic components of food, determination of macro nad microelements. Detemination of water and carbon dioxide. Determination of proteins, linked and free aminoacids, other nitrogen components. Determination of lipids, their separation, control of ageing process and nutritive quality. Isolation, proof and determination of mono, oligo and polysaccharides. Analysis of antioxidants and conservation agents. Isolation, identification and determination of undesirable components in food - pesticide residues, toxins. Forensic analysis. Control of input of toxic compounds into body and their metabolism. Inorganic toxic compounds and their determination. White damp (CO) poisoning, chronic poisoning by some cations. Determination of alcohol and other volatile organic toxicants in body. Determination of extractable poisons and drugs. Classical and modern extraction procedures. Chromatography and electrophoresis in forensic analysis. Analysis of macromolecules and polymers. Technical evaluation and identification of polymers. Analytical reactions. Physicochemical constants suitable for identification, evaluation of crystallinity and microstructure of polymers. Special techniques in analysis of macromolecules (differential enthalpymetry, inversive chromatography, optical methods). Mean molecular mass and distribution of masses - methods of measurements. Analysis of crude oil and products of petrochemistry. Sampling. Measurement of physicochemical properties, determination of base omponents (aromatic fractions, saturated, unsaturated, linear and branched hydrocarbons). GC in analysis of crude oil materials. Analysis of supplemental compounds and their classification. Important groups (fluxes, antioxidants, accelerators, antistatic agents, catalyzers, surfactants). Isolation, separation, identification and determination of surfactants in water and other ecosystems. Analysis of minerals and non-metallic materials. Decomposition and dissolution of minerals.
