DESCRIPTION

As the name suggests this unit concentrates on instrumental analytical chemistry topics as they relate to the discipline of separation science and related techniques. The material has been designed to appeal to the modern scientist with the material presented concentrating on giving a sound foundation to the theory and application of modern separation science techniques. This unit will be of importance to all scientists relying on the use of separation science in their field of endeavour. Topics within this unit are selected from: chromatographic separation techniques, including high performance liquid chromatography and ion chromatography; solid phase extraction; capillary electrophoresis; gas chromatography; hyphenated and multidimensional techniques; flow analysis; online process stream analysis; bioprocess separations and monitoring; minaturised analytical systems; microfluidic applications;sample handling and preparation; and the application of quality assurance principles in an analytical laboratory. The laboratory program reinforces concepts introduced in lectures and gives students experience in good laboratory practice and protocol, and hands-on usage of modern separation science and analytical chemistry instrumentation.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle, P Beauty Point. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Y Hong Kong.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, K, Q and Y click here for more information.
