To be able to explain the limitations of analytical methods used by the student.
In modern chemical research, measurements using a wide range of instrumental analytical methods are widely employed. Although
recent instruments allow users to obtain data by simply setting samples and applying standard measurement conditions, it is
essential to understand the principles of each analytical technique and to acquire knowledge of data analysis in order to
make full use of the obtained data.
This course first introduces fundamental statistical concepts necessary for the interpretation of analytical data. In particular, students will learn the principles of hypothesis testing commonly encountered in scientific literature and will develop an understanding of the evaluation of measurement uncertainty. Next, several representative instrumental analytical methods are introduced, including their principles, instrument configurations, and the chemical information that can be obtained from the data, with the aim of providing an overview of each technique. Finally, by integrating the statistical interpretation and instrumental analysis covered in the course, an introduction to method validation is provided, and students will conduct an introductory validation of the analytical method used in their own research.
