JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

Student will be able to

• Students will be introduced to a whole array of modern analytical instrumentation with the goal of providing them with the tools with which they can further their applied research.
• The emphasis will be a "hands-on" approach with sample preparation, theory, application, method development, data analysis and interpretation being key elements.
• Interpret data derived from any of the above-mentioned spectroscopic instruments
• Appreciate the basic concept, principles and terms of chromatography
