Analysmetoder inom kemisk ekologi 2023

Analytical methods in chemical ecology

Time: Summer 2023, 28 August – 9 September

Maximum participants: 20

Application deadline: July 14

Higher education credits: 6.0

Language: English

 

Entry requirements

The course is intended for PhD students in chemical ecology, analytical chemistry, ecology or related fields. Postdocs and M.Sc. students are also welcome.

Compulsory introduction on Zoom ca two weeks in advance. All participants are also required to do some homework before the first day on campus.

Learning outcomes

After completion of the course, the students should:

  • Have a good practical knowledge of methods for sampling of organic compounds
  • Understand gas chromatography and liquid chromatography analytical techniques
  • Have a good practical knowledge how to choose methods, columns and detectors for chromatographic separations
  • Understand different methods for identification of organic compounds
  • Have a good practical knowledge how to identify and quantify organic compounds with GC-MS

 

Objectives and content

The course contains a combination of lectures, workshops and practical exercises.

The lectures will cover methods of extraction of organic compounds, such as aeration, SPE, SPME and choices of organic solvents, as well as chromatography techniques such as liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. Modern identification methods in chemical ecology, including HR-GC/MS and MS/MS will be covered.

The practical parts are a mix of workshops, covering for example interpretation of electron impact mass spectra, and preparation-and-analysis of samples using the analytical instrumentation at Chemical Ecology, Plant Protection Biology, Swedish University of Agriculture, Alnarp.

Pedagogical form

The course has a practical focus with hands-on laboratory exercises, while also containing major elements of lectures and student-run workshops

Time table

The course is scheduled full time for two weeks (minus the last Friday). Generally, there are lectures in the mornings (ca 9-12), followed by workshops or practical laboratory exercises in the afternoons (ca 13-17). The last day is reserved for student presentations/examinations.

Examination

The students will be continuously examined throughout the practical moments of the course. All students are required to present their results from the workshops and practical exercises, and to discuss each other’s results.
