Course Objectives

  • This subject deals with the application of instrumental methods in qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples and provide insight to select instrumentation appropriate to the assessment need.
  • This subject is designed to impart fundamental knowledge of the principles and instrumentation of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques such that  principles central to analytical chemistry are reinforced; an insight into the key methodologies used is gained and critical thinking for interpreting analytical data is developed, 
  • This also emphasizes theoretical and practical knowledge of modern analytical instruments that are used for forensic sample testing.

Learning Objectives

  • Students will develop the ability to apply calibration curves, internal standards and the method of standard addition as needed for various measurement problems.
  • Can use sample data obtained from spectrochemical techniques to calculate unknown concentrations or obtain structural information where applicable.
  • Able to describe the various chromatography within this course and analyze a given chromatogram
