Entrance Requirements Chemistry 1, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry 1
Learning Outcomes and Competencies Students will
  • know the most important basic terms and concepts from analytical chemistry and can apply them in different analytical methods;
  • have become familiar with online quantities of measurement important in bioprocesses (pH, pO2, conductivity, substrate concentrations, biomass concentration), and can assess their relevance in biotechnological applications;
  • know the functional principles used for these measurements in sensor technology (including potentiometry, amperometry, optical sensors, conductive conductivity measurement) as well as the requirements for measurement technology in bioprocesses and can apply these in biotechnological processes;
  • be able to assess the requirements for measurement and sensor technology resulting from their application in biotechnological processes.
Module Content
  • General principles of analytical chemistry (analytical process, calibration, important terms and parameters such as limits of detection and quantification, recovery, precision and accuracy)
  • Analytical process: relevance and sources of error
  • Online process measurement and sensor technology in biotechnological processes as an element of PAT
  • Relevant parameters in biotechnological processes (e.g. pH, pO2, conductivity, substrate concentrations, biomass concentration)
  • Fundamentals of the functional principles of sensors relevant in bioprocesses (electroanalytical and optical methods)
  • Application of sensors for the measurement of critical parameters in biotechnological processes
