Information
The course provides a condensed overview on the theoretical principles and state-of-the-art instrumentation of the vibrational spectroscopic techniques and it will deal with a broad range of practical application examples from the chemical, polymer, pharmaceutical, and food industry as well as environmental investigations. Qualitative and quantitative analysis will be treated in terms of univariate as well as multivariate procedures. The course will illustrate the relevance of vibrational spectroscopy for research, reaction monitoring and quality/process control and it will enable participants to efficiently evaluate vibrational spectroscopic data and to assess the pros/cons relative to other analytical techniques.
