PEC340: Instrumental Analysis

This unit aims to develop students' analytical expertise beyond the introductory level of PEC240 Analytical Chemistry by focusing on important, modern instrumental methods used for chemical analysis. Techniques covered include thermal methods, surface analysis, electroanalysis, x-ray spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopy, HPLC, radiochemical methods, hyphenated techniques. Laboratory classes are organised so that students gain valuable 'hands on' experience with instruments they may expect to see in research, industrial and commercial laboratories. Special emphasis is placed on emerging analytical technologies.
