QCP 511-Quality control by advanced analytical methods

The course discusses the chemical principles and practice of both qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples for identifying their identities and determining the compositions by separation-based analytical techniques. These techniques include the most commonly employed in both industrial and academic research laboratories, spectrophotometry (ultraviolet and visible), spectrofluorimetry, atomic absorption spectrometry, flame photometry, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and their various hyphenated and automated techniques. The course is devoted to describing the basis, instrument components, and operation of each technique. The course emphasizes hands-on experience in analyzing and quality control of real-life samples such as raw materials, pharmaceutical preparations, dietary supplements, medicinal herbs and cosmetics.
