CHEM 310 - Instrumental Methods for Chemical and Biological Sciences

(3)

SP, alternate years. The aim of this course is to expose students to several instrumental techniques in chemistry, biochemistry, and biotechnology. The course will cover the principles underlying common instrumental spectroscopic techniques. Instrumental techniques such as absorbance, fluorescence, atomic spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, electrochemistry, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on devices and techniques that enable sensitive and selective molecular measurement. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 210. Corequisite(s): CHEM 310L.
