Course details
The Enhanced Post-Diploma Certificate (PDC) in Laboratory Instrumentation is designed to equip students with the advanced knowledge and skills on modern analytical techniques used in chemical laboratories. Hands-on experience will be provided wherever relevant and useful.
The students would be given a review of the key theoretical concepts behind analytical techniques such as high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography and the theoretical concepts underpinning inductively coupled plasma technology, with a strong emphasis on hands-on practice and discussion of common troubleshooting issues using case studies.
List of Subjects
Advanced Applications in Chromatography
This subject provides a review of the key theoretical concepts behind analytical techniques such as high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. Strong emphasis will be placed on hands-on practice and discussion of common troubleshooting issues using case studies. An introduction to hyphenated techniques will also be covered.
Inductively Coupled Plasma
This subject provides a review of the theoretical concepts underpinning inductively coupled plasma technology, with a strong emphasis on hands-on practice and discussion of common troubleshooting issues using case studies. An introduction to hyphenated techniques will also be covered.
Contemporary Applications of Mass Spectroscopy
This subject provides a review of the theoretical concepts of mass spectroscopy. Building on the basics taught in the first two modules, this module will provide a more in-depth coverage of tandem and hyphenated techniques (e.g. GC-MS, ICP-MS) for enhancing detection and sensitivity limits. Contemporary applications such as the use of TOF (Time-of-Flight) and the quadrupole mass analyzer will be briefly discussed.
Minimum Entry Requirements
- Diploma in Applied Sciences / Engineering or equivalent
- Degree in Science / Engineering or equivalent
- Holders of other equivalent academic qualifications from foreign institutions will be considered on a case-by-case basis
