i) Recognize the importance of instrumental methods of analysis; ii) know the main instrumental techniques and the basics of instrumentation; iii) Perform the development and validation of analytical procedures; iv) Perform the proper treatment of laboratory results.
The UC contents aim to ensure the learning objectives/skills acquisition. Actually, the proper use of instrumental methods of analysis in the laboratory requires an adequate theoretical and practical knowledge of: i) the techniques fundamentals and the analytical instrumentation operation basics; ii) the appropriate validation of the analytical procedures; iii) the pre-analytical samples processing; iv) the proper treatment of laboratory data.
Aspects relating to the analytical quality control and automation of analytical procedures will also be addressed. All integrated, it can assure the training of students to work effectively and efficiently at the laboratory setting.
Proper knowledge of analytical chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, physiscs and statistics basic concepts are required for full comprehension of the different course issues. Classes are given in Portuguese language. Recommend books and most materials are in English.
Tutorial lectures provide the proper theoretical background. Laboratory classes allow students to apply Instrumental Methods of Analysis to real situations and the acquisition of skills as analysts.
Student's attendance to the laboratorial classes is mandatory, according to General Evaluation Rules in force at FFUP.
Approval requires laboratory assessment of > 10 points.
1. Distributed evaluation = performance in laboratory classes + reports of the laboratory work.
2. The final exam is a written test. Students who obtain a final classificação between 8 and 9.5 will be submitted to an oral exam.
3. Students who by law are exempt from the attendance to laboratory classes will be submitted to a laboratory exam.
Students who by law are exempt from the attendance to laboratory classes will be submitted to a laboratory exam.
