In the presentation of the course, emphasis is placed on pathos together with ethos and logos to provide a verbal presentation that creates understanding among students and others who participate in the teaching. Separation of organic compounds using gass chromatograph, liquid chromatograph and various columns. About alternative detectors and interpretation and presentation of results. Basic chromatography theory, practices and the theory behind various separation principles. Understanding of qualitative and quantitative analysis in different matrices. In the laboratory, samples delivered will be analyzed.

The UN's Sustainable Development Goals are the world's common work plan to eradicate poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change by 2030. Sustainable development is about addressing the needs of today's people, without destroying future generations' opportunities to meet their needs.
