Learning Outcomes

The student will learn: - main principles of stable and radioactive isotopes - instrumentation and analytical techniques for stable and radioactive isotopes - experimental design with isotopes: isotope fractionation, isotope labelling - analysis and interpretation of isotope measurements - applications of isotopes in biotechnology

Content

- discovery of isotopes: when did it start? - type of isotopes (radioactive vs stable): applications, limitations and advantages - compound characterization (isotopic values) (“Produktpiraterie”) - the applications of isotopes in different fields of biotechnology, e.g. biogeochemistry, turnover mass balances, biological and chemical transformations, toxicology studies, metabolism (‘omics’ techniques: fluxomics, metabolomics, proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics), forensics etc. - advantages and disadvantages of isotopes application in ‘everyday life’ (e.g. smoke detectors, nuclear disasters, etc.) - tracer experiments in nature (nuclear bombs, nuclear testing) - isolation of isotopes, synthesis of isotopically-labelled compounds (comparison of prices); biotechnological production - relevance of the knowledge about an organic compound turnover or nutrient distribution (e.g. pesticides: REACH registration procedures, improved remediation strategies) The module transmits 30% knowledge & understanding; 10% analytics & methodology; 20% development & design; 20% research & rating; 20% application & practice
