Annotation -

The subject is dedicated as the optional subject for MSc students and comes after the basic courses of analytical chemistry, food analysis and atomic spectroscopy. The lectures are focused on the problems of inorganic trace analysis, taking biological samples, sample treatment techniques and the application of spectrometric, electrochemical and separation analytical methods for determination and speciation of elements, especially in food and other biological matrices.

Aim of the course -

The students will be able to:

know the properties of individual methods of elemental analysis and be able to predict possible interferences and suggest the way of their compensation.

select correctly the method of sample treatment for trace element analysis of biological and environmental samples.

select correctly the appropriate measurement method and measurement parameters considering the nature of analyte and the properties of the sample.
