Students will get to know all steps of the analytical process in a modern, digitally supported, setting, using a concrete example from current research (focusing on inorganic mass spectrometry, ICP-MS).Content:
As traditional laboratory work is sometimes no longer common, practical, or feasible nowadays, the course will take place partly online and partly in a seminar room. Students will be shown how modern Analytical Chemistry can operate in a digitized world and the possibilities available for it. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be capable of planning, executing, evaluating, and interpreting a simple analysis using an inorganic mass spectrometer (ICP-MS).
Key components of the internship include:
• Planning of an experiment
• Handling of mass spectrometers, optimization of various relevant instrument and method parameters
• Quantitative mass spectrometric analysis of complex samples
• Data evaluation for analyte quantification
• Calculation of various parameters for quality controlMethod:
The course comprises theory and practical parts. In the theory units, the necessary knowledge will be conveyed through lectures and demonstrations, supplemented by independent work by the students.
For the practical parts, various modern digital methods will be used, such as videos, simulators, remote control of a mass spectrometer, or augmented reality.
Additionally, students will work independently or in teams, e.g. for literature research or data evaluation.
The course is concluded by student presentations.
Discussions with students are an essential part of the entire lab course.
