To educate different types of analytical techniques exercised in chemistry.

To understand the dynamic range and Pros/Cons of each technique for the proper selection.

To appreciate the error and confidence limit to better present data.

1) Students will be familiar of different types of analytical techniques exercised in chemistry.
2) Students will be able to learn both theoretical and instrumental aspects of various detection
processes.
3. The course will help the student to select the appropriate technique.
4. The course will help the student to present the data in a better/statistically correct way.
5. The course will help to understand experimental findings reported in the literature/paper.
