| Course Content | |||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||
| Teaching and learning Methods | |||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||
| Learning Outcome | |||||||||||||
| The course objective is to introduce the participants to the theory of mass spectrometry. After completing the course the student should be able to: Knowledge: Describe the detailed theory of mass spectrometry Refer to the physical and chemical theory behind different inlet systems, ion sources, mass analyzers and detectors. Skills: Choose the most appropiate methods for mass spectrometric analysis of chemical compounds in simple and complex mixtures. Competences: Develop, optimize and apply mass spectrometry in different field of research | |||||||||||||
