Course Description
Micro and Ultra-micro analysis of chemical entities in a variety of matrices is gaining importance in industrial,
medical, food and Agriculture sectors. In addition chemical analysis is essential to prevent the proliferation of
toxics in our environment. Knowledge on sophisticated instruments, their operational methods and high skills to
handle them are essential for this purpose. The Advanced Instrumental Analysis course is designed to provide the
students the required knowledge and skill in spectroscopic, electrochemical, chromatographic and thermal
analytical methods. The spectroscopic methods would cover Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission (ICPAES), Atomic Absorption, Infra-Red (IR), Ultra Violet-Visible (UV-VIS), Molecular fluorescence, X-Ray
Fluorescence (XRF) and Mass Spectrophotometric techniques. Electroanalytical methods included are
Conductometry, Potentiometry, Voltammetry and Coulometry. Chromatographic methods include Gas
Chromatography and Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry. Thermal analytical methods cover
Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Thermo Gravimetry (DTG), Differential Thermal Analysis
(DTA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Course will focus on hand on experience of all the related
instruments; sample processing, instrument calibration, sample analysis, data analysis and interpretations.

Course Objectives
1.To gain a fundamental understanding of the theoretical basis of measurements spectroscopy and its dependence on
molecular structure, the physical chemistry of underlying interaction of light and matter, and the chemical interactions
among molecules that are the driving forces for analytical separations.
2. To be able to select and apply appropriate instrumental methods of analysis to problems in any of the sciences. This goal
involves understanding of the fundamental nature and practical applicability of measurement methods and how to apply
them to real-world problems.
3. To gain practical knowledge of how to carry out meaningful interpretation of data from analytical chemical
measurements. The understanding necessary to interpret data correctly is achieved only by acquiring profound
knowledge of both the theory and practice underlying a measurement system and any limitations involved.
