CHEM2220 Chemical Separations

A broad thermodynamic and kinetic framework compassing all chemical separations is used to classify techniques. Concepts such as separation efficiency are generalized. The most powerful and widely used separations techniques are chromatographic, thus solution chemistry will be discussed to provide a chemical framework for chromatography will be presented.

Instructor schedule: Spring 2010, Spring 2011

CHEM1250 Instrumental Analysis

The basic principles and instrumentation of instrumental methods and their application to analysis and research problems. The coverage includes spectroscopic methods, electrochemical methods and chromatography. Equilibrium and dynamic aspects of each are considered. The approach to real analytical problems, from the biochemistry research lab to industry, is included.

Instructor schedule: Fall 2009, Fall 2011

CHEM1540 Introduction to Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a widely-used analytical technique that provides useful qualitative and quantitative information across several fields such as chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering. This course is designed for students that want to learn more about how MS works both fundamentally and practically, become familiar with modern MS instrumentation, and explore current real-life applications of MS. Additionally, students will have an opportunity to become better verbal communicators of chemistry-related concepts in this course. 

Instructor schedule: Spring 2012
