Training: Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry:Principles and Practice

Whatdoes it cover?
This intensive, five-day lecture/lab course is co-sponsored by and presented at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. The lecture portion covers the basics of both LC/MS and GC/MS,including interpretation of spectra and practical advice on operation and maintenance. The laboratory is supported by the leading MS vendors especially for this class, affording each student the opportunity to have hands-on experience with state-of-the-art instrumentation. The experiments, however, are not “canned” demonstrations, but are real-life, practical exercises that reinforce the fundamental concepts presented in lecture. Students are assigned to three- to four-person group that they will work with throughout the week to complete homework problems, interpret experimental data, and prepare presentations.

The team approach for this course involves three professors, as many as nine graduate student teaching assistants, and representatives from the instrument manufacturers. This format ensures that the student receives a variety of viewpoints and a significant amount of one-on-one attention. This course is the most intense and comprehensive training available for the analyst using chromatography/mass spectrometry.

This course is offered once each summer in California. Course enrollment is limited to 26 students, so sign up early to ensure your place.
