Laboratory:
Students complete 10 experiments in an alternating schedule. The labs cover many of the techniques described in lecture and are focussed on separation/chromatography(HPLC, Ion Chromatography, GC), spectroscopy (UV/Vis, fluorescence, AA, AE), mass spectrometry (GC-MS, ICP-MS) and electroanalytical (ASV)
