CHM 380 - Instrumental Analysis

Studies the theory, design, and practical application of modern instrumentation used in chemical analysis. Applies a variety of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods as well as spectrometers (including mass spec, fourier transform infrared, and surface analytical techniques) to solve chemical, biochemical, and environmental problems. Covers basic electronics and the relationship between signal and noise in the context of building instrument models. Prerequisite(s): CHM 320. Lab required.
