FAR-8312 Advanced practical analytical chemistry 2 - 5 stp

The course gives a deeper understanding of the use of the following techniques and instruments through practical laboratory work:

• Sample preparation for analytical chemistry.
• HPLC and UPLC.
• Mass spectrometry with focus on triple quadrupole and orbitrap instruments.
• Development of target and untarget mass spectrometric methods.
• Statistical interpretation of analytical data, including software for identification and quantification.

PhD students or holders of a Norwegian master´s degree of five years or 3+ 2 years in pharmacy or molecular sciences (or equivalent, such as chemistry, biochemistry or biotechnology) may be admitted. Valid documentation is a statement from your institution that you are a registered PhD student, or a Master´s Diploma with Diploma Supplement / English translation of the diploma.

NB: The course FAR-8311 (or an equivalent course from another university) must be passed before the student can start and complete FAR-8312. These courses are given in succession in the same semester.
