Bioanalytical Chemistry

Catalog description

Principles and applications of various analytical instruments as applied to biological molecules, including spectroscopy, chromatography and immunoassay, will be discussed. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of biological molecules such as peptides, proteins and toxins will be performed using analytical instruments. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer. Prerequisite(s): CHM 11600 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF C- Course Learning Outcomes 1. Describe and use the basic principles of spectroscopy (Fluorescence, Atomic absorption, UV/Vis), chromatography (HPLC, GC/MS, GC), immunoassay (ELISA) and Electrochemistry (Cyclic Voltammetry). 2. Determine experimental errors and analyze data collected from the instruments using statistical methods. 3. Account for the need of bioanalytical methods on biological science and biochemical projects such as toxicology, metabolism, food science and biological samples such as proteins and peptides.
