This module will provide students with the theoretical basis of selected laboratory techniques important in chemical and biochemical analysis. Students will also gain practical experience of analytical chromatography and the use of clinical laboratory test strips. Students will also analyse some basic laboratory data.

•  The module aims to provide students with knowledge and practical experience of selected techniques used in analytical biochemistry and chemistry
• To stress recent developments in these techniques, including advances due to new equipment where appropriate  

On successful completion of this module you should be:- 

• Able to describe the principles of the major techniques used by biochemists
• Knowledgeable about the key components of the major analytical systems and their applications
• Prepared to make informed choice of a technique or method for a specified measurement
• Able to understand how to interpret chromatographic, spectroscopic and other results
• Able to propose suitable approaches to sample preparation for clinical samples
• Describe appropriate quality assurance procedures for bioanalysis
