The course will provide background for interpreting the laboratory analysis results and provide insight into the principles of various analytical methods performed on biological materials.
Students will learn about commonly used methods of chemical and biochemical laboratories, both in routine and research laboratories.
The course provides an introduction into the theoretical and practical basis of nutrition-related analytical methods.
It is expected that the student, after completing the course, will know how to:
- describe the basic principles of the methods used in nutrition
- explain the analytical methods used in research and routine (patients) work
and be able to:
- interpret data in terms of statistics and biological variation
- perform a critical evaluation of analysis results (blood/serum/plasma/urine/faeces)
