INTERPRETATION OF MASS SPECTRA
A Short Course designed for Chemists and Laboratory personnel with no formal training in mass spectrometry, and Chromatographers who are using mass selective detectors or ion traps as chromatography detectors. This course will emphasize intrepretation of electron ionization and chemical ionization mass spectra.
May 6 - 7, 2003: Germantown, Maryland
Course Description
The Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group of the Greater Washington-Baltimore Area will present a short course on “Interpretation of Mass Spectra.” This introductory level course on the qualitative interpretation of electron and chemical ionization mass spectra of small organic, biochemical and environmental compounds will be taught by solving practical examples. Registrants should be familiar with basic principles of organic chemistry. Extensive problem-solving time will be augmented by lectures to illustrate the principles of interpretation. Emphasis will be placed on the interpretation of electron ionization (EI) mass spectra. The workshop format and a high instructor-to-student ratio are designed to benefit those with little or no experience, but who wish to expand their interpretation skills.
FORMAT
A workshop format and limited class size will ensure the participants ample opportunity to interact with the instructors.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Chemists and Laboratory Personnel with no formal training in mass spectrometry, and Chromatographers who are using mass selective detectors or ion traps as chromatography detectors. A knowledge of basic organic chemistry will be assumed.
