KJM-FRM9055 – Bioanalytical Chemistry II: Advanced Separation Methods

After completing the course, you can:

• explain innovative variants of gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and associated detectors.
• describe supercritical fluid chromatography.
• describe advanced electrophoretic techniques.
• assess which of the separation methods is most suitable for a given purpose.
• explain advanced microextraction techniques used in conjunction with advanced separation methods.
• convey and discuss peer-reviewed scientific literature within advanced separation methods and microextraction techniques.
• be able to create and deliver a presentation on a scientific article within advanced separation methods (unique for KJM-FRM9055-variant of course)

PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.

If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.

PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.

The teaching runs over one semester and consists of:

• 5 meetings by 2 hours each, with course teachers. The purpose is to answer and discuss about the questions students prepare during the colloquium
• 2 hours colloquium in a week where course teachers are available for discussing the reviewed materials

You are also required to prepare a 5-10 minute mandatory presentation on an article related to the syllabus.

The teaching is based on physical presence, but a Zoom link can be provided as needed for those who are not studying in Oslo

• Final written exam (4 hours) or oral exam (45 minutes), which counts 100 % towards the final grade.

The form of examination (written or oral) depends on the number of students taking the course.

You must have the mandatory presentation approved before you can sit the final exam.

It will also be counted as one of the three attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses: KJM-FRM5055 – Bioanalytical Chemistry II: Advanced Separation Methods

Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.

Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass, the original examination.
