Objectifs (et/ou acquis d'apprentissages spécifiques)
The aim of the course is to give you insight into the chromatographic methods available for the isolation and purification of (bio)molecules of industrial importance. In addition, we aim to teach you the fundamentals and application possibilities of different spectroscopic methods available for the determination and characterization of molecular structures.

Evaluation
Méthode(s) d'évaluation
- Examen écrit
- Travail de groupe
Examen écrit
Travail de groupe
The exercices and practicals illustrate the content of the courses and are as important as the theory.
Written examination Spectroscopy: students have to elucidate the structure of a molecule on the basis of spectra (IR, UV-Vis, NMR) and to be able to answer to theoretical questions regarding the conditions to record a quantitative spectrum.
Construction de la note (en ce compris, la pondération des notes partielles)
A graded practical will account for 20 % of the final mark. Modalities will be given during class.
A written examination, covering all the material seen during classes and exercise sessions, accounts for the remaining 80% of the final mark.
This grade is the weighted average of two grades, one for each of the teaching units (40% separation science - 60% spectroscopy).
