Kursusindhold
The course consists of five full day sessions (9.00-16.00) over a period of five months. The course focus on different aspects of advanced mass spectrometry. The five lectures concern: 1) Ionization techniques - principles and applications, 2) Mass analysers - principles and applications, 3) Qualitative chemical analysis, 4) Quantitative chemical analysis, 5) Advanced data analysis of mass spectrometry data. The participants are required to read two advanced books on mass spectrometry (Mass Spectrometry - A textbook, by Jürgen H Gross and Mass Spectrometry - Principles and Applications by Edmond de Hoffmann and Vincent Stroobant) and additional reading on quantitative chemical analysis and chemometric data treatment.
 
Undervisningsform
Lectures and presentations from the participants: The lectures and presentations from the participants will present the chemical and physical background of mass spectrometry. The participants will furthermore, be introduced to the instruments during visits to different MS laboratories, and small experimental examples.
 
Målbeskrivelse
