Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students will be able to perform, understand and evaluate modern instrumental analytical analysis experiments.
Skills Knowledge
More specifically, upon completion of the course, they will be able to:

  • Quantify analytes at trace level using chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (k2, k3, k4, k5)
  • Identify compounds in herb extracts (k2, k3, k4, k5)
  • Apply high resolution mass spectrometry to biomolecules (k2, k3, k4, k5)
  • Determine a peptide sequence using NMR (k2, k3, k4, k5)
  • Report their results in a protocol in a scientific writing style (k4, k5)
The course is divided into four consecutive sections with the following experiments:

  • Identification of compounds in herb extracts using GCMS
  • Quantification of lipids in biological samples - Lipidomics
  • High resolution mass spectrometry of peptides
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - identification and assignment of unknown peptide
Criteria for evaluation Lab reports on practical work; Final exam; Short tests related to the experiments
Methods Practical work in the chemical laboratory; Evaluation of analytical measurements
