ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 3.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

Student should be able to select appropriate instrumental solutions for mechanization of analytical methods with main detection methods, oriented mostly towards laboratory diagnostics as well as environmental and food analysis.
Full description:

The lecture covers the following topics:

* Non-analytical automation (pre- and post-analytical).

* Role of mechanization and automation of analytical processes in modern chemical analysis (mainly in the case of clinical analysis, environmental protection and food quality control).

* Presentation of the concept and theoretical principles of flow, discrete and centrifugal analyzers as well as dry chemical analyzers. Various designs of measuring equipment (including detection systems) and applications in various areas of chemical analysis.

* Concept of analytical procedures miniaturization.

* Robotization in the analytical laboratory.

Learning outcomes:

After finishing the course student:

- analyzes a possibilities of improvment of analytical procedures for routine applications of chemical analysis,

- recognizes possibilities of the use of different desings of mechanized instrumentation for analytical purposes,

- designs measuring systems for flow analysis with various detection methods,

- estimates possibilities and limitations of different concepts of improvments of analytical measurements.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

Exam covers the following topics:

* The concept of mechanization and automation of analytical processes (advantages and disadvantages, possibilities of their implementation, impact on analytical parameters).

* Pre- and post-analytical automation

* Discrete and centrifuge analyzers: basics of operation, design solutions, examples of applications, advantages and disadvantages of use.

* Theoretical principles of flow analysis: the concept of dispersion and its model description (dimensionless parameters, Ramsing equation, Taylor convection-diffusion equation).

* Types of flow techniques (basic elements of construction, detection methods).

* Possibility of processing samples in discrete and flow analyzers

* Main features of analyzers intended for clinical, food and environmental analysis.
