Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis laboratory course will introduce students to instrumentation commonly used in chemistry research in preparation for careers in chemical analysis, manufacturing, and quality assurance. The course explores the basic principles for qualitative and quantitative analysis, the basic principles of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, and the strengths and limitations of analytical methods and instrumentation. The lectures will discuss the theory and techniques that relate to the experiments that are performed, including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography‚ÄìMass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) , Ultraviolet‚ÄìVisible Spectroscopy (UV-vis), and various methods of analysis and separation of mixtures. Emphasis will be placed upon understanding the fundamental principles of analytical instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis, and scientific communication.Usually HeldFri 12:30pm–4:35pm
