Annotation -
The aim of this course is to introduce students, through practical training, to selected analytical techniques with which they have previously become familiar mainly in theoretical courses. The course focuses on developing both basic and more advanced skills in working with modern instrumental techniques used in analytical laboratories. Within individual laboratory exercises, students will gain hands-on experience with sample preparation and processing, setting measurement conditions, and performing the analysis itself. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles of the individual methods, proper operation of analytical instruments, and adherence to good laboratory practice. An integral part of the course is also the evaluation and interpretation of the measured data.
