CHM 410 - Laboratory Robotics & Automation

0.5 course unit

Automated techniques and philosophies, as applied to the modern analytical laboratory, will be discussed. Automated analytical sample preparation, data acquisition, and data analysis methods will be explored both as reported in the primary literature and through hands-on experimentation in the laboratory. Robotic workstations for liquid handling and experimental design approaches will be used to systematically study sample preparation variables in the automated laboratory. Contemporary analytical separations will be used for sample analysis with an emphasis on pharmaceutical applications.
