Course description

A course designed to highlight the powerful possibilities of GC analysis with spectral detection. Tuning and tune reports will be explained, and instruction given in the use of tune reports as a powerful diagnostic tool. The functionality of the MS will be discussed in detail including principles of the quadrupole mass filter. Ion detection devices will be detailed, and the use of electron and chemical ionization sources will be investigated with applicability to practical situations. General interpretation strategies will also be considered to provide a well rounded fundamental knowledge.
