LC-MS DATA INTERPRETATION LEVEL 2
TRAINING COURSE
In this training course, we look at the main fragmentation methods encountered in LC-MS and how we use fragment information in structural determination
This course covers advanced interpretation of LC-MS data. We explore multiple fragmentation mechanisms associated with collision-induced dissociation and the use of fragmentation in the structural elucidation of unknown (related) compounds, such as impurities and metabolic products.
The material is intensively workshop driven, building your experience of working with different types of fragmentation processes, applying these to compounds of known structure, then using these to interpret spectra of unknown related substances.
This training is designed for delegates wishing to use LC-MS in the support of structural elucidation or those wishing to improve their confidence in working with data generated through product ion scanning.
COURSE NAME COURSE DETAILS
- Revision of bonding theory
- Ion formation and stabilisation mechanisms
- Charge migration and charge retention fragmentation mechanisms
- Using fragment information in structural elucidation
We offer flexible delivery options for this instructor-led course:
- On-site: one full-day session at your laboratory or any location of your choice.
-
Online: two half-day interactive sessions.
View our online training calendar for upcoming dates.
This is a challenging course, building on the skills developed in Level 1 and requires delegates to be experienced in LC-MS data acquisition and interpretation.
