Course description

The students gain personal experience with non-instrumental separation techniques and sample preparation methods for hyphenated instrumental separations (e.g. GC-MS). By evaluation of the raw data obtained by measuring their prepared samples they have to calculate basic performance characteristics of the applied methods. Based on these data they have to assess and compare the applied methods and techniques.
