Advances in biological sciences largely depend on rapid developments in measurement and monitoring technologies. It is necessary to have knowledge about these new technologies, instrumental methods and basic principles of analytical / industrial processes, in order to reach quality reliable results in selection of suitable devices and methods in researches. The aim of this course is to give the students basic knowledge about advanced techniques in biochemistry and to gain the ability of advanced practical thinking in the analysis of biomolecules.

The role of analytical chemistry in biochemistry research, basic analytical principles, classification of quantitative analysis methods, the analysis error calculations, the separation and extraction methods, chromatographic techniques, electrophoretic techniques, the theoretical basis of spectroscopic techniques, UV-VIS spectroscopy, NMR-IR and their use in biochemistry, immunochemical techniques, mass spectroscopy and MALDI-MS technique, examples for applications.
