Learning Outcomes and Competencies Students will
  • become familiar with the most important steps in the analytical process and will be able to adequately implement and scrutinise these in a concrete application;
  • be able to prepare exemplary samples so that they correspond to the analytical steps which then follow;
  • be able to independently carry out quantitative determinations for selected instrumental analytical (especially chromatographic) methods;
  • be able to evaluate analyses in a scientifically correct manner, interpret and scrutinise the results critically, and document them completely and comprehensibly in a report;
  • be able to independently carry out, optimise and document suitable steps in the purification process and the bioanalytical methods required for this by means of a practical example.
Module Content Instrumental analytics
  • Performance of liquid chromatographic and gas chromatographic analyses (HPLC, IC, HPTLC, GC) with different and changing research topics with applications in biotechnology, food or environmental analysis
  • Software-supported optimisation of chromatographic methods
  • Quantitative analyses with UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy with applications in biotechnology, food or environmental analysis
 
Downstream processing (protein purification and bioanalysis)
  • Cell disruption, and application of suitable auric purification methods using a practical example (e.g. protein from batch practical)
  • Accompanying protein analysis (SDS-PAGE, protein quantification, activity)
