Kursusindhold
Text book materials on the current types of MS techniques and principles are studied. A number of applications for determination of selected contaminants in soil, water and plant material samples will be studied in combination with hands-on instrument exercises with GC-MS incl. ionization methods, tandem MS, mass spectra interpretation for compounds and metabolites. The hands-on part includes an experimental study of compounds relevant to their project and selection and optimisation of the appropriate techniques. Each student writes a literature review of the application of GC-MS in environmental analysis of selected compound groups, and discuss own experimental data in this context. This review is assessed. In total approx. 205 hrs (40:60 between textbook/review and hands-on experiments/data handling).
 
Undervisningsform
Lectures, exercises and individual project in the laboratory.
 
Målbeskrivelse
The course objectives are to provide the participants with an insight in mass spectrometry (MS) and the use of liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) coupled with MS. The course will focus on MS used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis and the goal is to provide basic knowledge about MS, tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS), ionization techniques, mass spectrum interpretation, and specific principles on the coupling of separation techniques with MS with the primary focus on GC-MS.
