Sample Preparation
The Chemistry Behind the Techniques
Come prepared to learn that sample preparation is
more than just a few "low technology" procedures. Learn about the chemical
principles behind the techniques, and how an understanding of these principles
will provide better results. This course will include a survey of many
traditional procedures, including information on recent advances in these
techniques. Several new sample preparation technologies will also be introduced.
This is not a "recipe" course limited to a particular
sample type or application. This course offers a comprehensive treatment
of sample preparation as an important part of every analytical method.
You will learn more than just a few manipulations; you will come away
with a complete understanding of what sample preparation is and how you
can use it effectively.
Students will realize the following benefits from
this course:
- Better control of variables in sample preparation
steps, producing more reliable results.
- Better efficiency and decision-making skills,
since time is not wasted on unnecessary or lengthy manipulations
- A knowledge of what traditional techniques are
available, and what recent advances make them even more efficient.
- An understanding of several "new" technologies
that might also be useful.
