- Study Objective:
-
This course provides the students with the knowledge of principles and selection of existing analytical methods that make use of radionuclides or ionising radiation for the determination of stable elements, and methods for the determination selected radioactive elements.
The students will acquire competence to choose an optimum radioanalytical procedure for the given application, taking into account the facilities available at the workplace.
