KJM3420 – Analytical chemistry. Separation methods I

Course content

Chromatographic Theory, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), Column Chromatography, Gas Chromatography (GC), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) and Electrophoresis. The basis for the different separation principles and techniques will be addressed. In the laboratory samples will be analyzed by the student.

Learning outcome

The student is expected to become familiar with the most important separation methods, their basis and potential use. The student is expected to gain independent laboratory skills in the experimental techniques, and knowledge of the principles behind and the construction of the instrumentation that is used.

Admission

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.

If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
