Learning Outcomes and Competencies Students will
  • be able to perform, evaluate and interpret quantitative measurements;
  • Have become familiar with the functional principles and instrumentation of important methods in analytical and bioanalytical chemistry and can apply these to analytical problems;
  • be able to evaluate and optimise analytical methods; and
  • be able to develop and evaluate a suitable purification strategy from cell disruption to reach a sufficiently purified protein.
Module Content Instrumental analytics
  • Methods for quantitative determination (calibration with external and internal standards, standard addition)
  • Knowledge of methods and equipment for chromatography and spectroscopy
    • Quantitative determination methods
    • Elution process and theoretical background to the chromatographic process
    • Basic principles, functional principles and instrumentation in instrumental analysis (HPLC, GC, HPTLC, UV/Vis, IR, fluorimetry, mass spectrometry, coupled techniques)
  • Methods development, optimisation and validation
 
Bioanalytical methods
  • Downstream processing, strategy development
  • Column chromatographic separation methods for the purification of proteins
  • Bioanalytical methods for the determination of concentration and activity of proteins
