General description Nesta asignatura abordase o estudo das técnicas de espectrometría atómica máis avanzadas, algunhas das cuales son claves noutros procedimentos analíticos tanto de uso en laboratorios de empresas como en laboratorios de control. Por outra banda, abordánse os avances máis recientes no campo dos sensores que son a base de moitas investigacións actuais.
