Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students will be able to analyze the data generated by modern mass spectrometry instruments using various ion sources as well as IR spectroscopy data.
Skills Knowledge
More specifically, upon completion of the course they will be able to • Understand, explain and apply the hyphenation chromatography and electrophoresis with MS (k2, k3, k4) • Understand, explain, examine and evaluate mass spectrometry signals (k2, k4, k5) • Understand, explain, examine and evaluate EI MS fragmentation patterns (k2, k4, k5) • Understand, explain, examine and evaluate IR spectra (k2, k4, k5) Underlying concepts and details of • Hyphenations of chromatography with MS: GC-MS, LC-MS, CE-MS • Interpretation of mass spectra signals: recognizing adducts, charge states, isotopes and fragments • EI MS fragmentation patterns: Typical cleavages, rearrangements and eliminations, CID of peptides • Interpretation of IR spectra
