Sample preparation methods and chromatographic analysis
Sample preparation and analyte concentration methods. Review on the chromatographic techniques. New trends in chromatography: high temperature LC, microparticles and monolithic HPLC columns, ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography, high speed-LC, multidimensional chromatography. Mass detectors, ionization modes and hyphenation with chromatography.
Electrochemical Methods
Bulk (Conductometry), static interfacial (Potentiometry) and dynamic interfacial methods (Voltammetry, Chronoamperometry, Chronocoulometry, Chronopotentiometry, Coulometric Titration, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy , Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance, Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry, Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Electrochemical Atomic Force and Scanning Electrochemical microscopy, Spectroelectrochemistry, Photoelectrochemistry and Electrochemiluminescence): Miniaturization of electrochemical cells, new sensors, applications.

Teaching Methods
Students are expected to work individually using the recommended bibliographic sources and the notes provided by the teachers.
Students will be evaluated taking into consideration:
- their participation and interest during the classes;
- resolution of assigned homework;
- the grading of review assignments about select subjects related to the analytical techniques presented in the classroom.
Final grade = 25% evaluation during + 75% review assignment and oral presentation.
