Bio-Components Characterization (laboratory)

coordinator: prof. Joanna Wolska (e-mail)

The practicals will be carried out each week according to the SCHEDULE

Students should be prepared for a short test before each exercise. Both, the test as well as the rules of passing an exercise will be up to a teacher's decision, who will provide all the neceassary information before the classes.

Manuals:

Exercise 1: Chemical analysis, sampling and data analysis

Exercise 2: NMR analysis (remark: before attending the exercise students should put an extra attention to the calculation and re-calculation of concentrations as well as basics of NMR spectroscopy)

Exercise 3: UV-VIS spectroscopy, sample preparation, calibration

Exercise 4: IR and FTIR  analyses,  sample preparation, calibration (+ charts)

Exercise 5: Raman spectroscopy,  sample preparation, calibration (+ charts)

Exercise 6: Rheology and viscometry, sample preparation

Exercise 7: Surface analysis: contact angle and microscopy

Exercise 8: Molecular weight determination, viscometric method
