The Analytical Core Lab is offering a basic training course on the use and application of High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
LC-MS is a powerful analytical chemistry technique that is used in industry and academia for both routine and research purposes. This two-day short course will offer an overview of mass spectrometry and is designed to provide basic knowledge and practical applications of LC-MS analysis. The course progresses from an introduction to HPLC and mass spectrometry to themes common to all LC-MS interfaces, emphasizing those phenomena that are important for success with LC-MS experiments
