Course Aims
1. Gain basic knowledge on chemical and biological analytical techniques (spectroscopy, liquid chromatography, NMR, mass spectrometry, PCR, protein analysis, immunodetection, flow cytometry)
Through self-study of text books and internet sources basic theoretical knowledge on diverse analytical techniques is created. A number of techniques will be made available to “solve” the CSI cases and students will gain practical experience with these techniques.
2. How to setup an analytical experiment.
The student can formulate the problem/question at hand, find the corresponding literature and come with an experimental design that is feasible and appropriate for the question/problem.
Key words: estimation of the problem, experimental design, applicability
3. Performing an chemical/biological analytical experiment
The student can set up and perform the designed experiment conform the analytical standards. The student performs the experiment such that the results obtained are accurate and reproducible.
Key words: lab safety, lab journal, chemical calculations
4. Data analysis and statistics
The student can analyze the obtained data, perform the essential statistics and interpret the results.
Key words: accuracy, precision, reproducibility
