Course Synopsis

During this course the principle and major application of solvent extraction will be covered. It will also include the various ways of doing extraction. The course will also cover another separation technique, Electrophoresis, that is extremely important in Bioanalytical chemistry. The course will cover its theory, Principle, Instrumentation, working and applications. In lab course applications of two important analytical techniques will covered i.e. Spectrophotometry and Flame photometry also their use in qualitative and quantitative analysis on lab scale.
