Chemistry
CHEM 5005 - LC/MS and Applications

Covers the use of LC-MS in chemical analysis. The course starts with a general discussion of the theory of mass spectrometry as applied to the field of LC-MS. Types of LC-MS including LC-MSn are then compared. Subsequent sections of the course cover topics that relate to more advanced aspects of LC-MS including instrument components, modes of operation and the interpretation of LC-MS spectra. Other topics discussed include the optimization of quantitative and qualitative analyses using LC-MS and routine troubleshooting and maintenance of selected LC-MS instruments. Laboratory exercises provide practical training of the principles covered in the lectures. Prerequisite: Extensive HPLC knowledge or CHEM 5002.
