What will you learn on this course?
In this one day course, you spend the first part of the day learning the theory of mass-spectrometry and then use this knowledge to create LC-MS methods, perform injections and change MS parameters to see the effects. This course covers MS theory, the importance of tuning, the vacuum system, ionisation, mass analysers, ion detection, data analysis, LC-MS methods and acquisition rate.
Learning outcomes
- You will learn the principles of mass spectrometry
- You will learn about the function & operation of the MS individual components
- You will become familiar with the MS instrumentation
- You will have practical experience of adjusting the parameters for each MS component
