BPS2032 Analytical methods 2: Investigation design

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Explain in detail the function and operation of an analytical instrument at the level of its individual components and the integrated analytical system.

2. 2

   Safely operate an analytical instrument to produce accurate and reproducible data.

3. 3

   Raise hypotheses on the impact of controllable variables on analytical responses and design experiments to test these hypotheses.

4. 4

   Critically evaluate, analyse and interpret the collected results to generalise the rules that govern the analytical technique.

5. 5

   Explain and apply the principles of analytical method validation.

6. 6

   Create accurate visual representations illustrating the decision process and other aspects of analytical method development.
