- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Environmental Biomedicine (programme PřF, N-ZPZ)
- Environmental chemistry and toxicology (programme PřF, N-ZPZ)
- Environment and Health (programme PřF, N-ZPZ)
- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to explain the basic theory of chromatographic separation and apply it to individual types of chromatographic methods. Detailed description of the main chromatographic systems, principles of sample injecting and detection techniques. The course describes trends in the development of chromatographic techniques. Students will acquire the expertise needed to select a suitable method for a given analysis and to optimize the experimental conditions of chromatographic methods.
- Learning outcomes
- Students completing the course will be able to:
- understand basic principle of the most commonly used; chromatographic methods and some other analytical separation techniques;
- know important practical and technical aspects of modern chromatography instrumentation applicable and highly relevant to scientific work;
- propose a protocol and technical implementation of chromatographic methods in relation to the type of analysis and the physico-chemical properties of the analyte;
- explain generic separation theory of chromatographic separation and underlying mechanisms and select suitable chromatographic system, stationary phase and separation mode to obtain high-quality scientific data;
- apply chromatographic theory to characterize analytical systems, surface and material of stationary phase, and supposed interaction of the analyte within the system;
- evaluate and interpret results of chromatographic analysis;
- assess the practical relevance of the combination of chromatographic techniques with different types of detection techniques, in particular with spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques;
- overview current trends in the instrumentation, stationary phases and method development - utilize chromatographs for qualitative and quantitative determination of various analytes in biological matrices;
- select and optimize experimental conditions of separation techniques suitable to increase selectivity, separation efficiency, number of identifications and optimal quantification limits for the most sensitive analysis - Syllabus

- Teaching methods
- The teaching is performed in the form of a lecture with a Powerpoint presentation. Students will receive printed copies of the presentations before each lecture for entering their own notes and questions. The comprehensibility of difficult parts is checked interactively.
- Assessment methods
- Attendance at the lecture is not mandatory, but recommended for easy fluency and understanding of the material. During the lesson, the emphasis is on interaction with students and discussion on the topic of the subject already covered is encouraged. The acquired knowledge is verified by an oral exam.
