CHM 210 - Instrumental Analysis

A survey of practices and techniques in chemical analysis and of common spectroscopic, separation, electrochemical, and instrumental methods will be provided. The course provides a framework that can be used to understand new and old techniques, the theory behind a variety of specific techniques and the current practices. Interpretation of the output of these devices will be discussed, but the emphasis will be on the components within the instrumentation (inside the box), on the techniques used to obtain better output and better chemical knowledge from the output, and on the similarities between the different techniques.
