What will you learn on this course?
This course is an introduction to mass spectral interpretation presenting the fundamental tools and rules when interpreting full-scan LC-MS data. The delegates will benefit from a greater understanding of how to interpret the mass spectra produced by Electrospray Ionisation (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionisation (APCI).
The course uses a combination of classroom-based presentations to introduce the theory with a high proportion of tutor-supported tutorial exercises on LC-MS spectral data to facilitate and reinforce the learning process.
If you wish to learn the fundamentals of LC-MS mass spectral interpretation for the identification of unknowns or to enhance your understanding of fragmentation patterns, to assist in accurate identification when using library search programs, then this course is for you.
Who is this course for?
This course is recommended for those who have a good background in organic chemistry and at least six months experience as a LC-MS operator, and is interested in structural elucidation of compounds amenable to analysis by LC-MS.
