This course deals with the principles and applications of modern analytical instruments. Emphasis is placed upon the theoretical basis of each type of instrument, its optimal area of application, its sensitivity, its precision, and its limitations. The topics that will be given in this course are:chromatography, molecular flourescence, phosphorescence and chemilumenescence, atomic spectroscopy and thermal methods.
Teach the student the philosophy behind instrumental methods. Teach the student the principles of popular
instrumental methods. Teach the student statistical methods and validation of analytical results. Train the student how to purchase an instrument of analysis or how to get the best of it.
At the end of this course students should be able to:
1- Conduct calculations related to instrumental chemical
analysis
2- Operate the instruments involved in chemical
analysis
3- Calibrate and operate chemical analysis instrument
4- Prepare samples
5- Philosophy behind instrumental methods.
6- Survey of instrumental methods.
7- Principles and applications of modern instruments
used in chemical analysis
8- Selection of method of instrumental analysis suitable
for specific analysis.
