SHC4014 - Analytical Science 4

In this module students will be provided with an overview of contemporary spectroscopic techniques and their relevant areas of application. In mass spectrometry the student will be introduced to the range of ionisation and scanning techniques and the ways in which the coupling of chromatographic methods with mass spectrometry can enhance and extend the capabilities of both methods. In NMR the student will consider a range of advanced experimental methods to enhance the quality of the analytical information which can be obtained.
Modern electroanalysis is a powerful and versatile analytical tool for investigating a wide range of analytical problems. This module will introduce the students to a selection of these methods and will illustrate the practicalities, uses and limitations of these techniques. Sensor technologies represent a rapidly expanding area of analytical science. The module aims to familiarise the student with the wide range of fields, which contribute to sensor developments, and then to reinforce this knowledge with pertinent examples such as glucose monitoring systems for diabetics.
