Semester 2
Spring semester
The aim of the course is to introduce the students into mass spectrometry, one of the most important methods in analytical chemistry.
1) Basics of mass spectrometry (definitions, isotope pattern, accurate mass)
2) Ionization techniques: 2.a) EI ionization (fragmentation rules, spectrum elucidation), classical applications 2.b) Spray techniques (Electrospray, APCI, APPI) 2.c) MALDI
3) Analysers (MS instrumentation)
4) Tandem mass spectrometry
5) Hyphenated techniques (GC–MS, HPLC–MS)
6) Application of mass spectrometry in diverse fields, including organic, bioorganic pharmaceutical applications, proteomics, food and environmental analysis, medical diagnostics, materials science
