Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
general chemistry ; organic chemistry ; introduction to the analytical chemistry

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The teacher(s) will discuss the different kinds of spectroscopic techniques (UV, molecular fluorescence, atomic spectroscopy') ; and will then focus on the separation techniques such as HPLC and GC. They will also discuss the detectors that are used to detect the analytes following their separation (UV, FID, MS').
Aims

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

1 At the end of the activity the student will be able to
  • Differentiate the different spectroscopic techniques (type of interaction with the light, nature of the measured signal, ')
  • Describe the different separation techniques that have been discussed
  • Explain the consequences of a change in the experimental conditions of a separation on the result of the separation.
  • Propose, based on the elements discussed during the course, the optimal method allowing the quantification of a given analyte.
 

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Content
This EU addresses the main instrumental techniques useful for the chemical analysis. The EU WFARM1243 is located in a learning continuum starting with the basics of analysis (WFARM1243) to the analysis of drugs (WFARM2117). The topics covered in this EU are listed below.
  • Spectroscopic techniques
    • UV-Visible
    • Molecular fluorescence
    • Atomic spectroscopy
  • Introduction to the analytical separations
  • Electrophoretic methods
  • Liquid chromatograpy
  • Gaz chromatography
  • Introduction to the mass spectrometry
Teaching methods
WFARM1312 teaching activities. 
The activity WFARM1313 (practical training in instrumental analysis) allows to approach the theoretical notions studied in WFARM1312 in a more practical way. 
Evaluation methods
a written exam spanning from theoretical aspects to exercise resolution
Online resources
An adapted version of the material presented during the lessons is available on the "moodle" platform.
The materials for the practical part of the activity is also available on the "moodle" platform.
