Training: Interpretation of Mass Spectra - Live on the Web

What does it cover

This course has the same content as the 3-day open-enrollment Interpretation of Mass Spectra course. It is offered in two sessions per week for a six week period. Each session is about one and a half hours long. There is optional homework that can be FAXed in with mark papers being returned by mail. The sessions are recorded and will be available for up to four weeks after the course is completed. This course has been offered about twice a year since 2002.

This is a very convenient way to take this important course and gain knowledge in the interpretation of mass spectra. You can contact the instructor for a copy of the course syllabus.

The course is designed to develop the fundamental skills necessary to understand fragmentation of ions formed by electron ionization (EI) in GC/MS or by one of the soft ionization techniques employed in LC/MS. Many of the examples are taken from EI; however, the principles that are learned are applicable to any ionization technique.

Other important topics covered are:

• Determination of elemental composition from accurate mass measurements and the relative intensity of isotope peaks
• The use of Library Search Programs and databases of mass spectra with EI data and data obtained using collisionally activated dissociation
• Discussion of the different types of m/z analyzers and the different types of ions encountered in modern mass spectrometry

This course teaches you the important skills of how to determine the “quality” of a mass spectrum and how to decide if the spectrum is worthy of an attempted interpretation. Whatever your experience level, you will gain valuable knowledge in this course.

This course is offered several times throughout the year as either as a three-day classroom course or in a unique, interactive, on-line format. On-line courses are held two times a week over a six-week period. As with all our courses, this course can be presented in-house and customized to meet your precise needs.
