Fr, 13. 12. 2024, 09:00 – 12:00 Arbeitsgruppen - Meeting roomPlease also consider that you will need some time inbetween the individual meetings for individual tasks ("homework")!Time required:
• First meeting at the beginning of the semester
• Independent preparation (e.g. literature research)
• One week of continuous lab course (generally in a seminar room!), supported by various ‘homework’ assignments. Dates will be arranged in the first meeting.
• Independent data analysis
• Final presentation (in a seminar room/lecture hall! The date will be arranged during the first meeting)Attendance is compulsory during the whole lab course!
Unexcused absence at the first meeting will result in deregistration of the student from the course.
Any unexcused absence in the further parts of the lab course will result in a negative assessment.

This lab course will be held exclusively in a seminar room!
We will not go into any lab.
Doing the course online is only planned for a pandemic etc.Objectives:
Students will gain experience in the practical application of inorganic mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in a modern, digitally supported setting. One focus is on various quality control/quality assurance measures.Content:
As traditional laboratory work is sometimes no longer common, practical, or feasible nowadays, the course will take place exclusively in a seminar room. Students will be shown how modern Analytical Chemistry can operate in a digitized world and the possibilities available for it. After 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), including extensive Quality control/quality assurance measures.Key components of the course are:
• Planning of an experiment
• Handling of ICP-MS instruments, optimization of various relevant instrument and method parameters
• Possibilities of quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
• Quantitative mass spectrometric analysis of various samples
• Data evaluation for analyte quantification
• Presentation of analytical-chemical researchMethod:
The course comprises theory and practical parts. In the theory units, supplemented by independent work by the students.
In the theory units, the necessary knowledge is conveyed through interactive lectures and live demonstrations.
For the practical parts, various modern digital methods will be used, such as videos or remote control of a mass spectrometer.
Additionally, students will work independently or in teams, e.g. for literature research, data evaluation or working on specific tasks using an instrument simulator
The course is concluded by student presentations.
Discussions with students are an essential part of the entire lab course.
