FUNDAMENTALS OF GC/MS
INTRODUCTION
This course is intended for the advanced chemist and covers all skills and knowledge for understanding and successfully operating GC/MS system. The course will cover theory and principles of Mass Spectrometry (MS), as well as practical aspects and use maintenance. Although a considerable background of capillary GC is expected, a brush-up of GC will be included, covering principles, instrumentation and particular column requirements.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Chemists who would like to understand and work with GC/MS instruments.
TOPICS COVERED:
•Functionalities of Gas Chromatography
•Why MS/MS
•The ion source functionalities
•Mass analysis with the ion trap
•Ion detection methods
•Why vacuum in the MS
•Tuning and calibration of MS
•The language of GC/MS data
•GC/MS qualitative analysis
•GC/MS quantitative analysis
•Advanced ion trap GC/MS analysis techniques
•Selective ion storage SIS
•Unit selective ion storage SIS
•Liquid chemical ionization
•Tandem mass spectrometry
PRACTICAL TRAINING & CASE STUDIES:
•Auto/manual tuning
•Daily checks
•Method building
•Running test samples for sensitivity and inertness
•Use of log file, diagnostics and auto shutdown
•System setup for selected analysis
•Running a sample and performing a library search
•Building and editing a calibration method
PREREQUISITES
