Content of the course:
This course will introduce the basic concepts and terminology of mass spectrometry including:
- An explanation of the most important ionisation techniques used in mass spectrometry, such as electrospray ionisation, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation and atmospheric pressure ionisation techniques.
- Fundamentals of common mass analysers such as quadrupoles, ion traps, time-of-flight (TOF), Orbitrap, and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR), along with their relationship to parameters such as resolution and mass accuracy.
- Theory and applications of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) experiments, and strategies for data interpretation.
- General considerations for sample preparation and troubleshooting which would be applicable across a range of applications.
- The opportunity to “meet the experts” and discuss your own applications and challenges related to mass spectrometry with experts from industry, instrument manufacturers, and academia.
- All course tutors are experts in mass spectrometry, drawn from industry, instrument manufacturer, public institutions, and academia.
- Delegates receive a course manual containing complete lecture notes together with other background information such as key references and a guide to mass spectrometry resources.
- On completion of the course delegates may request a certificate of attendance from the BMSS Administrator. Professional Bodies, such as the UUֱ of Chemistry, will accept the course as contributing to an individual’s CPD Portfolio if it relevant to their employment.
