Mass Spectrometry Instrumental Analysis

Catalog description

This course provides students with an appreciation and understanding of the background, theoretical, fundamental, and advanced modern Mass Spectrometry. The class explores allied chemistries and applications in mass spectrometry. Students will learn current mass spectrometric application areas such as proteomics, speciation metabelomics, epigenomics, immunochemical, bioinformatics, atomic spectrometry and clinical applications. Current and emerging mass spectrometric and modern interfaces, ionization, and automation configurations will be explored. Students will learn applications and testing methods used in analytical chemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, biochemistry and clinical MS analysis. Students taking this course should have at minimum successfully completed one semester of Instrumental Analysis.
