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