Spectrometry and Chromatography (3 cr)

Objectives (course unit)

Student is able to
- explain the methodology of spectrometry and chromatography
- explain the constructions and operational principles of spectrometers and chromatographical intruments

Content (course unit)

- theory of spectrometry and chromatographical methods
- UV-VIS -, fluorecence- ja AAS (FAAS) - and IR (FTIR) spectrometry
- thin layer, ion exchange and open column chromatography
- constructions and operational principles of spectrometers and chromatographical instruments

Exam schedules

Course exam
Retakes and grade improvements will be done in Exam. The dates will be defined later.
Retake 1: (retakes and improvements)
Retake 2: (only retakes)
A failed course can be retaken twice on the days determined by the teacher. The student can improve thte grade of passed course once in connection with the course retake examination.
