Course objectives
Introductory section treats in detail the contemporary instrumentation of mass spectrometry, principles of ionization, analysis and ion detection. Topics of ion fragmentation, compounds identification and quantitation follow. Finally, hyphenated techniques - GC/MS, HPLC/MS, CE/MS, and ICP/MS - are presented. Mail goals of this course: to obtain a survey about development and current state of methods and instrumentation of mass spectrometry; to use of MS for analysis of inorganic and organic compounds in the various type of samples.
Syllabus
  • I. History, principles of MS, fundamental terms.
  • II. Instrumentation. Sample introduction, vacuum system. Sample ionization, methods of ionization of volatiles / nonvolatiles compounds, soft and hard ionization techniques. Ion analysis, resolution, magnetic sector, electrostatic analysator, HRMS. TOF analysator and MALDI-TOF equipment. Ion cyclotron resonance. Linear quadrupole, ion trap. Tandem MS. Collisional activation. Ion detection. Spectrometer tunning.
  • III. Fragmentation. Metastable ions, nuclide ions, fundamental fragmentation mechanisms.
  • IV. Mass spectra and their use. Quantitation in MS.
  • V. Hyphenated techniques. Hyphenation with separation techniques GC/MS, HPLC/MS, CE/MS. Data acquisition and analysis. ICP/MS technique.
