Syllabus of Special Methods of Instrumental Analysis (practical classes)

  • Potentiometry with ion selective electrodes - determination of low concentration of iodides (impurity) in sample of sodium chloride, measurement selectivity, method of two standard additions and its numeric evaluation.

  • Stripping voltammetry – determination of traces of impurities (heavy metals) – identification and determination in sample of sodium chloride using standard addition method.

  • Capillary zone electrophoresis - determination of sorbic and benzoic acids in unknown sample, calibration.

  • Capillary isotachophoresis – determination of glucosamin in food supplement, comparison with standard solution with known active substance concentration, contactless conductivity detection.

  • UV spectrophotometry – selective determination of constituents of multi-component mixtures (o-hydroxybenzoic and p-hydroxybenzoic acids), selection of optimal wavelengths, evaluation of absorption coefficient, determination of components in unknown sample.

  • High-performance liquid chromatography – identification of components in mixture of active substances (paracetamol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, acetylsalicylic acid + product of decomposition – salicylic acid), determination of paracetamol, identification of impurity, decomposition of acetylsalicylic acid.

  • Sequential injection analysis – automation of nitrates determination using derivatization reaction in the system of sequential injection analysis, optimization of flow rate, „stop-flow“ technique for spectrophotometric determination, calibration, determination of nitrates in drinking or surface water.

Learning outcomes

The subject Special Methods of Instrumental Analysis builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in the subjects: Physical Chemistry and Instrumental Methods.

After completing the subject, students will be able to use the following terms in the correct context towards the analytical evaluation of inorganic and organic substances using instrumental methods: electroanalytical methods - pulse voltammetry and dissolution voltammetry, amperometry and ion-selective electrodes, electromigration methods - capillary zone electrophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, isoelectric focusing, capillary isotachophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, modern trends in liquid chromatography, luminescence methods - fluorimetry, chemiluminescence, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, Raman spectrometry, mass spectrometry, automation - flow injection analysis, sequential injection analysis.

Learning outcomes:

Based on the acquired knowledge and skills, students will:

  • design a suitable instrumental technique for determining the content of a given organic substance describe the difference between individual optical/electroanalytical techniques with regard to selectivity, sensitivity of determination with application for the determination of analytes in real samples;
  • describe the difference between chromatographic and electromigration separation methods;
  • explain the principle of separation and describe basic electromigration methods;
  • explain modern trends in liquid chromatography, including sorbent geometry, column dimensions, UHPLC, detection techniques;
  • explain the principle of luminescence, the difference between fluorimetry and chemiluminescence, compare luminescent detection with spectrophotometric, describe basic chemiluminescence systems;
  • explain the principle of atomic absorption spectrometry and Raman spectrometry and their use for determining the content of analytes;
  • explain the possibilities of automation in low-pressure flow systems, describe the FIA/SIA system, the principle of measurement and evaluation of the content of determined substances
