Course Objective

This course aims to inform the importance of accurate sample preparation techniques. Selected components will be analyzed in the matrix analysis technique has to be properly prepared. Therefore, depending on the course, extraction techniques for organic and inorganic analytes, sample pretreatment in microscopy, surface enhancement as a sample preparation tool in Raman and IR spectroscopy and related topics will be discussed.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to learn sample preparation methods for metals and organic compounds in solid and liquid matrices, sampling in Raman and IR spectroscopy.
2   To be able to classify the extraction and enrichment methods and develop the analytical abilities and criticize arguments.
3   To be able to explain the measurement process, errors in quantitative analysis, method validation, quality control in sample preparation.
4   To be able to analyzed components selected in the matrix and interpreted the results from the analysis.
5   To be able to discuss the extraction techniques for organic and inorganic analytes, sample pretreatment in microscopy.
