Advanced analytical techniques for bioanalysis, environmental analysis and nanotechnology

The overall goal of the plan is to gain new knowledge of both theoretical and applied analytical chemistry to be also used in other fields such as bioanalysis (e.g., genomics, proteomics), environmental science and nanotechnology. Emphasis will be aimed at advances in theoretical principles, instrumentation, and applications of progressive separation and spectral methods of analytical chemistry. The separation branch of the plan comprises the methods employing electric field, sorption, fluid flow, density dependence of a fluid's solvating power, force field, chemical reaction, and their combinations as the driving forces for separation. The spectroscopy branch comprises mass spectrometry, atomic spectroscopy, and the optical detection techniques including new colored and fluorescent standards to be used in the separation methods. The results will be new basic knowledge and applications for medicine, environment protection, food production, and advanced materials.
