CHEM 425 Chromatography and Electrochemistry (3)

The course topics include gas, liquid, and other forms of chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and important techniques of electrochemistry. The course material is designed to increase student understanding of both the analytical instruments used in the laboratory and the principles underlying the measurements. Evaluation of student performance is based on the level to which a student understands how an instrument operates and how particular components determine overall performance and specifications; limitations to measurements as a function instrument design; criteria by which one selects an appropriate instrument to obtain the desired measurements; and criteria by which one selects appropriate components to build an instrument for specific uses.
