A Training Course in Applied Chemistry Demonstrates Modern Techniques in Chemical Analysis

The Department of Applied Chemistry at the College of Applied Sciences, University of Samarra, organized a training course entitled “Modern Techniques in Automated Chemical Analysis from UV–VIS to LC–MS/MS.” The course was presented by Assistant Professor Dr. Sabreen Shakir Mahmoud and Dr. Suhad Abdulmunem Yassin.

These techniques rely on the absorption of compounds in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, which helps in determining the concentration and chemical composition of various compounds.

Dr. Mahmoud explained the methods used to identify organic and inorganic substances, such as amino acids, dyes, aromatic compounds, and pharmaceuticals. She also highlighted high-resolution spectroscopic analysis, which enables modern systems to determine spectral data with greater precision.

In a related context, Dr. Yassin discussed integrated analytical systems that combine additional techniques such as LC-MS/MS analysis, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in order to obtain more accurate and comprehensive analytical data.

At the conclusion of the course, several recommendations were presented, emphasizing the importance of training students on the practical use of analytical techniques, explaining the operational mechanisms of each method, and improving traditional analytical methods through modern, faster, and more cost-effective approaches.
