Lectures: The lectures will present the general theory for problem oriented analytical chemistry, experimental design, method development, quality assurance, method validation and scientific writing.

Theoretical and minor laboratory exercises: these will train the students to carry out QA/QC and to perform optimize analytical methods based on theory. Theoretical exercises and minor laboratory exercises are performed in groups of 2 to 4 students.

Laboratory project: The Laboratory projects represent the heart of the course. Here, the participants train aspects of method development, quality assurance and control as well as GLP and documentation for analytical work. The laboratory exercise comprises one project performed in groups of 2-4 students, the subject of which could be an experimental study related to the participants own research.

All PhD students (including Danish Universities) are charged for instrument-time, laboratory expenses and expenses related to excursions amounting to a total of 8000 dkr. A course in instrumental analysis, like the course “Analytical Chemistry 1 LKEF10076”, is required. Knowledge of, or a course in basic statistics, is also recommended.

For questions feel free to contact contact persons/course organisers: Jan H Christensen ( jch@plen.ku.dk ) or Peter Waaben Thulstrup ( pwt@chem.ku.dk ).
