- International Fees
International fees are typically 3.12 times the domestic tuition. Exact cost will be calculated upon completion of registration.
Course Overview
`Students apply the principles and laboratory procedures for the modern instrumental methods of chemical analysis routinely used in biotechnology: spectroscopic methods including visible, ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy, chromatography (gas and high performance liquid chromatography), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, electrochemistry and electrophoresis. Specific emphasis will be given to the correct operation and troubleshooting of all instruments used. A laboratory-based project will require the students to demonstrate teamwork, leadership and problem solving skills.
