Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1

a. Contribution de l¿activité au référentiel AA (AA du programme)

The course contributes to the following learning outcomes : 1.3, 1.4, 3.3, 6.2  and 6.8 (BIR program)

b. Formulation spécifique pour cette activité des AA du programme (maximum 10)

At the end of this course, the student will be able

  • to select the best technique to get rid of all major co-constituents,
  • to optimize the resolution of the GC/HPLC chromatograms,
  • to choose the best detector in terms of sensibility and selectivity,
  • to accurately quantify the analytes (use of internal standards, external standards, standard addition, isotopic dilution ..)
  • and to extrapolate the concepts to isolate them by (semi)preparative HPLC or GC.

Content
- Properties of chemical compounds
- Strategy of an organic analysis
- Methods for extraction and concentration
- Gas chromatography
- High-pressure liquid chromatography
- Modification of the properties by derivatisation
- Methods of quantification
- Semi-preparative HPLC
- UPLC
- Enantiomeric separations
Teaching methods
Half of the courses consist in magistral lectures, the other part being a reflection (groups of students) around published experimental protocols. The students have also the opportunity to apply a few number of experimental protocols at the laboratory.
Evaluation methods
Written examination for the theoretical part. 3 Oral communications (in English) are presented during the seminars (discussion of experimental protocols). The experimental know-how and the attitude are evaluated throughout practical classes (laboratory report).
