Course detail

Instrumental and Structural Analysis

FCH-MA_ISAAcad. year: 2024/2025

The students will be acquainted with theoretical fundamentals and application of methods of chemical, physical and structural analysis. The course also includes advanced separation and electromigration techniques, organic Mass Spectrometry with emphasis on tandem techniques, Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy, Thermogravimetry, Differential Thermal Analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-Ray Fluorescence, X-Ray Diffraction, Auger Electron Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Electron Microscopy. The overview is completed with inorganic analysis techniques, such as Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, Emission and Fluorescence Spectrometry together with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry.
