The course comprises different analytical separation techniques and methods, such as HPLC, UHPLC and LC/MS, GC and GC/MS, CE (capillary electrophoresis), SFC (supercritical fluid chromatography) and FFF (flow field fractionation), for characterization and quantitation of low and high molecular weight substances normally utilized in pharmaceutical, food, environmental, biotechnical and biochemical analysis.
An important part of the course comprises strategies for technique/method selection and optimization for effective separation and detection conditions. Also, strategies for method validation and sustainable development are highlighted. Lectures in green analytical chemistry and current research in the topic are also included.
Grading scale: TH - (U, 3, 4, 5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
