Learning outcomes
Explain and correctly use basic concepts in mass spectrometry
List and explain examples of the use of mass spectrometry in research, industry, environmental analysis, clinical laboratories, etc.
Select an appropriate ionisation method for a given analyte and justify the choice
Predict and rationalise the fragmentation pattern of gas-phase ions formed by different ionisation methods
List and explain the working principles of common types of mass analyser
Design an appropriate mass spectrometry experiment to solve a given analytical problem
Literatur
Course notes will be sufficient to pass the module. References to additional literature will be announced in the lectures
Voraussetzungen
Open to all who are interested (course has M.Sc. level).
Weitere Informationen
Course will be in a flipped-classroom format, with recorded lectures uploaded to Moodle in advance and then a one-hour live Zoom session for discussion
Offizielle Kursbeschreibung
Mass spectrometry is a powerful, versatile, and popular analytical method, with many applications in both routine and research settings. In this course, the different methods to produce gas-phase ions from neutral molecules will be explored, as will the different methods of subsequently determining the mass of these ions. The benefits, limitations, and application field of these different methods will be discussed, and you will learn how to select an appropriate method to solve a given analytical problem. Different ways to obtain structural information from mass measurement will also be explained. Throughout the course, theoretical exercises will be used to clarify and apply the concepts encountered in the lectures.
