Scientific Disciplinary Sector (SSD)
CHIM/01 - ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
Period
II semestre dal Mar 2, 2020 al Jun 12, 2020.
Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the theoretical and practical basis of sensors and biosensors technology. The role and kind of receptors, the transduction systems and of the main conjugation methods will be discussed in details, pointing out strong points and limits characterizing each system. Selected industrial and environmental sensor’s applications intended for the quali-quantitative determination of analytes of industrial interest, soil, water and air contaminants will be presented as case studies.
Program
The program stars with the general introduction to the concepts of sensor and analyte.
Description of the characteristics of the receptor element:
- biological molecules: receptors, antibodies, enzymes; nucleic acids
-biomimetics: imprinted polymers, cyclodextrins, cavitands
- organic selective materials: permeable membranes, etc.
The description of the principles of signal transduction for the most common transducers:
-electrochemicals: voltammetrics, amperometers, field effect transducers
-optical: SPR, fluorescence
-piezoelectric
The transducer/receptor interface:
- surface chemistry and interface analysis techniques
Some selected sensor applications:
-environmental (PFAS, estrogens, explosives, drugs)
-clinical (glucose sensor, metabolites)
- industrial (product aging monitoring)
-wearable sensors
-intelligent packaging
Examination Methods
The exam is aimed at verifying the acquisition by the student of the skills described in the objectives (knowledge of the concepts of sensor, the types of receptors and the main types of transducers, including their working principles, hoe to prepare a transducer receptor interface, exemplificative applications).
The exam is written, open questions, 2 hours. The written exam is integrated, upon student’s request, with an oral verification.

Attendance modes and venues
As stated in the Didactic Regulations, there is no generalised obligation of attendance. Individual lecturers are, however, free to require a minimum number of hours of attendance for eligibilitỳ for the profit exam of the teaching they teach. In such cases, attendance of teaching activities is monitored in accordance with procedures communicated in advance to students.
Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.
The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which is composed of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma cluster, and Villa Lebrecht and Villa Eugenia located in the San Floriano di Valpolicella cluster.
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.
