Instrumental analysis 1200-2INZ25
During the lectures, selected instrumental analysis techniques are discussed, as well as concepts related to qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis (analyte, matrix, interferent, analytical signal, trace analysis, principal component analysis, standard, reference material, analytical parameters of measurement methods, types of errors) along with the steps of the analytical procedure including preparation of samples. The techniques presented in the lectures are among those used in the analysis of nanostructures, and selected ones are presented with the highlight of examples of application: spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis spectroscopy, atomic absorption and emission spectroscopy, fluorescence analysis, mass spectrometry), electroanalytical techniques (potentiometry and current techniques as chronoamperometry, coulometry, conductometry, voltammetry, electrochemical concentration), chromatographic and electromigration techniques, including combined methods and miniature systems.
The block of instrumental exercises is a practical application of the content learned in lectures, allowing to learn how to conduct research using selected instrumental techniques and how to apply various research scenarios. The class also includes learning how to prepare research reports, taking into account the requirements applicable to research laboratories.

Learning outcomes
Knowledge of basic analytical techniques, and ability to select an analytical technique for a particular analytical purpose. The ability to prepare a sample for analysis, and knowledge of the subsequent steps of analysis carried with a given instrumental technique. The ability to critically interpretation of the obtained results and preparation of research reports.
Assessment criteria
Lecture: Test exam. Attendance is mandatory and checked on the basis of the attendance list. Maximum number of absences: 3
Laboratory classes: evaluation of the Student's knowledge of each exercise and evaluation of the report of each exercise (requirements available on the Kampus platform). Evaluations of individual exercises are the basis for the overall grade of the laboratory. It is required to pass each exercise. Due to the possibility of organizing only one additional laboratory, a student may miss only one exercise regardless of the reason ofabsence. Detailed information is described in the regulations available on the web page on the Campus platform.
Practical placement
None
