Objectives:
The course aims to give the candidate theoretical knowledge and practical skills at a high level within flow chemistry and technology. The candidate should be able to utilize the established knowledge and take part in an innovative and further development of the field of flow chemistry and technology. The course also provides the students training in searching and evaluating relevant scientific literature.
Contents:
Basic theoretical knowledge of how to design the manufacture micro--rectors and their characteristics, in-situ reaction monitering, and the limitations and advantages of flow reactor systems. Advanced knowledge and general skills in the use of flow reactors, micro mixers, pumps and other devices included in the flow reactor systems. Furthermore, experimental experience acquired through assignments and demonstrations where flow reactor systems are used for the synthesis of a variety organic target molecules, such as intermediates for pharmaceuticals, active ingredients (drugs) and the analysis of pharmaceuticals, metabolites and biomarkers contained in the biological material.
On completion of the course the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competance:
