Description

The crucial role of analytical separations in chemistry and biochemistry, both qualitative and quantitative, is discussed in detail. Theoretical background, principles of instrumentation, and applications are detailed for important chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques for chemical isolation and identification. The laboratory exercises provide a unique opportunity to gain practical experience with modern techniques, including gas and liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.

Requisite courses

CHEM-2202 and CHEM-2203 (or the former CHEM-2201) and CHEM-3302 (or the former CHEM-2301) [prerequisite(s)]; CHEM-4303L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).
