Course content
The course provides an introduction to electronic- and optical principles that are used in analysis methods in the laboratory. Analytical methods process, quality assurance and result assessment. It focuses on optical techniques, with their basic principles, construction and application, calibration og calculation with Beer's law. In addition, electrochemistry and chemical sensors: basic electrochemical principles, construction and application of chemical and biological electrodes/sensors
Learning outcome
The candidate has knowledge of;
- simple circuits
- particle- and wave properties for electromagnetic radiation
- basic principles for selected analytical methods and instruments
- quality assurance
- electrochemistry and the principles of chemical
- bio- and optical sensors
The candidate can (skills);
- make calculations on simple circuits and make calculations on effects such as refraction and reflection of electromagnetic radiation
- use key instrumental techniques to analyze analytes
- quality assure own work in the laboratory
- understand calibration and make calculations of the content of analytes in unknown samples
The candidate can (general competence);
- work independently and in groups
- master various techniques and instruments for laboratory analysis
- understand which physical principles selected analytical methods and measurement techniques are based upon
- assess the accuracy and precision of analytical methods
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, laboratory work, exercises and group assigments. Mandatory laboratory course, group assigments and exercises. Total workload per student corresponds to approx. 200 hours. Of this, scheduled activities will amount to approx. 80 hours.
Compulsory assignments
- Mandatory exercises
Further on evaluation
The laboratory course is evaluated approved / not approved with special focus on achieving learning outcomes: Participate actively in discussions when conducting laboratory exercises, have an understanding of and overview of procedures to be carried out for specific laboratory exercises, take an active part in carrying out practical work and show initiative to discuss interpretation of analysis results to develop an understanding of how to assess test results.
Compulsory work requirements must be approved in order to be eligible for the written exam. Approved comulsory work is valid for three semesters.
The re-sit exam can be given as an oral exam.
