Content

The course provides an introduction to instrumental analysis with main focus on atomic absorption/emission spectroscopy, UV/IR spectroscopy, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Learning outcome

The student will gain theoretical knowledge of the physical principles behind the measurements and construction of modern analytical instruments. With this knowledge the student should be able to apply modern instrumentation in work an research with knowledge and competence after a short practical training.

The student will get knowledge about atomic absorption/emission spectroscopy, UV/IR/ spectroscopy, Gas chromatography, Liquid chromatography (HPLC), Mass spectroscopy and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Forkunnskapskrav

HSE-course for master students (TN501)

Anbefalte forkunnskaper

It is assumed that the students have basic knowledge in general-, analytical- and organic chemistry as well as physics.

Exam

Form of assessment Weight Duration Marks Aid Exam system Withdrawal deadline Exam date
Written exam 3/4 4 Hours Letter grades No printed or written materials are allowed. Approved basic calculator allowed Inspera assessment 24.11.2017 08.12.2017
Laboratory exercises 1/4 Letter grades — — —


Both the practical part and the exam has to be passed to pass the course. Practical work from previous years may be accepted. There will be a total grade composed 25% from the practical work and 75% from the written exam.

Vilkår for å gå opp til eksamen/vurdering

Completion of mandatory lab assignments are to be made at the times and in the groups that are assigned and published on Canvas. Absence due to illness or for other reasons must be communicated to the laboratory personnel as soon as possible. One cannot expect that provisions for completion of the lab assignments at other times can be made, unless prior arrangements with the laboratory personnel have been agreed.

Failure to complete the assigned labs on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the final course exam.
