The Use and Applications of LC-MS Technique
Sunday and Monday, October 7 – 8, starting at 9:00 a.m.
Ibn Sina Building (building 3), level 3, room 3320
The Analytical Core Lab (ACL) is pleased to offer 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.
Course Outline:
- Introduction of LC-MS
- MS inlets and ionization modes (Electrospray Ionization, Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization, Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization)
- Positive or negative ionization modes
- How mass spectrometers work (Quadroupole, Ion Trap, Time-of-Flight, Orbitrap)
- Modes of operation of the mass analyzer MS, MS/MS and MSn
- Quantitative and qualitative data analysis
- Major Applications
