Course detail
Laboratory Classes in Instrumental and Structure Analysis - FSBT
FCH-MC_ISA_PAcad. year: 2025/2026
Practical class to the lecture Instrumental and Structure Analysis.
Students are familiarized with instrumental analytical techniques used by control and analysis of natural substances during this class. The course practically develops knowledge from the subjects Analytical Chemistry II and Instrumental and Structural Analysis. Individual tasks and laboratory equipment were chosen so that students come into direct contact with modern infrastructure in solving specific problems of analysis of samples of natural substances. Practical exercises are focused on separation techniques (chromatography and electrophoresis), elemental analysis, spectral and structural analysis.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The full attendance is required. In the case of absence, the particular seminar can be compensated by attending with another group or in the last week of semester. An unexcused absence is a reason for the loss of the course-unit credit.
The examination of basic knowledge relating to the particular project is done at the beginning of each exercise. Each student will write out laboratory diary. Results from the practise will be summarized as hand-writen laboratory protocol, which will be part of laboratory diary.
Laboratory reports are required till 7 days after the last exercise. Classification of the student will be based on evaluation of laboratory diary, protocols and activity in laboratory.
Aims
Graduates of this practical subject will acquire basic knowledge about selected instrumental analytical methods which they can may encounter in food chemistry practice. Student will learn basics of operation, maintanance and fuction principles of specific instruments. Furthermore acquire the skills of data evalutaion.
