| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| # |
Learning Outcome Description |
| LO1 |
Show competence in laboratory analyses using a UV-Vis, IR, fluorescence, atomic emission spectroscopy instrumentation, and HPLC and gas chromatography instruments. |
| LO2 |
Describe the fundamentals and instrumentation relevant to IR, fluorescence and atomic absorption/emission spectroscopy and HPLC methods of analysis. |
| LO3 |
Identify and interpret major features of a spectrum and chromatogram. |
| LO4 |
Employ lab skills in solution preparation, calibration and treatment of results in delivering analytical protocols associated to spectroscopy and chromatography labs in a safe, competent and confident manner |

Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
