Advanced Topics in Separations

3 credits · Graduate

This course deals mainly with chromatography and associated techniques; in particular, gas chromatography in its regular, capillary and supercritical forms, high-pressure liquid (including ion) chromatographies, capillary electrophoresis, and gas and liquid chromatography combined with other instrumental techniques such as mass spectrometry. The original ideas behind the design of separation media and detection modes are emphasized, and their consequences for the analysis of living and environmental systems.
