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

Aims

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

Requirements

As the lectures will be in German, it is required that you have some B-level training of German. These lectures at Leipzig University are often attended by non-native German speakers.

Content

Lectures
