  • Attendace - 39 hours per semester
  • Homework for Teaching - 13 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Course Credit - 10 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Exam - 28 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course focuses on an overview of modern instrumental analytical methods that are currently used in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical analysis, and environmental applications. The lectures are structured from a summary of the principles of absorption and emission spectroscopic methods, through magnetic resonance techniques, to separation methods and their coupling with mass spectrometry. Students will become familiar with the principles of individual methods, their instrumentation, application possibilities, as well as practical uses and limitations. Emphasis is placed on understanding how to select the appropriate analytical method for solving a specific task. The course also includes exercises focused on spectrum interpretation and solving model analytical problems.
Graduates understand modern analytical methods and can apply them in practice. They can interpret and evaluate data from advanced techniques, design appropriate analytical procedures, and critically assess the advantages and limitations of these techniques.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of basics of analytical chemistry and instrumental methods of analytical chemistry is recommended.
