An OpenSTEM online summer school providing you with an introduction to several analytical techniques in
biology, chemistry and health science via the following online investigations.
Investigation 1: Identification of counterfeit pharmaceuticals by infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR)
Investigation 2: Analysis of pharmaceuticals in waters using High Performance
Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
The analytical method for each technique
was covered as well as general techniques such as
preparing calibration standards and constructing a calibration curve.
Investigations were completed online, either via an interactive screen
experiment or via remote instrumentation (HPLC and IR), which included
recording data and observations, plotting graphs and interpreting
results.
To gain the badge, you must have
successfully completed at least four of the five techniques used in the
investigations and the associated quizzes.
