Chemical and Toxicological Analysis 2

The aim of the course is to indroduce students with the basic knowledge of the most important analytical techniques, instruments like GC and HPLC in particular, both from a theoretical and practical point of view.
Know the problems related to sampling and treatment of samples to be prepared for analytical procedures to avoid interferences, how we treated in Chemical and Toxycological Analysis 1.
We focused to see which chemical-phisycal methods were the most suitable among:
-UV-vis
-IR
-MS
These skills, in general terms, were increased through ongoing exercises, consisting of multiple choice questions (in relation to topics covered).
The basic theoretical aspects are treated in the 1st Module; in the 2nd Module the laboratory tutorials are carried out
At the end of each laboratory exercise students delivered oral and written experiences descriptions to stimulate their observation and critical skills.

The student will be able to critically discuss most common qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques, including classic instrumental methods. He will also acquire knowledge and skills required to:
· solve the problems associated with sampling and treatment of samples
· select suitable analytical techniques to solve a given analytical problem
· describe an analytical procedure and correctly report an analytical result
· organize and carry out laboratory activities following high quality and safety standards.
