Introduction to mass spectrometry (October 5-7, 2021)

Aims

This advanced training module addressed doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge or experience in mass spectrometry. It introduced the basic theoretical and technical concepts of mass spectrometry and provided hands-on experiments in the labs.

Requirements

As the lectures were in German, it was required that participants have some B-level training of German. These lectures at Leipzig University were often attended by non-native German speakers.

Content

Lectures
  1. Einleitung- Entwicklung der Massenspektrometrie
  2. Physikalische Grundlagen der Ionentrennung und Überblick zu modernen Masseanalysatoren
