This unit introduces safe and organised working practices within a laboratory environment and also some basic laboratory techniques.
Units aims:
To develop in students the first fundamental practical skills.
To introduce safe and organised working practice within a laboratory environment and also the application of some basic laboratory techniques. At the end of this course, students should be able to practice:
Analytical techniques such as GCMS, NMR and TLC
Laboratory sessions and independent study. The Dynamic Laboratory Manual provides important e-learning resource in advance of (and during) the laboratory sessions.
Students will be continuously assessed in laboratory work (summative and formative - 100%)
