CT2 Fundamentals of Mass Spectrometry
Mass spectrometry is one of the main analytical-chemical techniques used to characterise organic compounds and their elemental composition. This overview will discuss some of the most frequently used mass spectrometry techniques and their specific strengths (e.g., quadrupole, time-of-flight and high-resolution MS), as well as ionisation techniques such as electron ionisation (EI), electrospray ionisation (ESI), matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) and MS techniques to quantify metal concentrations (e.g. inductively coupled plasma MS, ICP-MS) and isotope ratios.

The Characterisation Techniques lectures introduce and focus upon facilities available in the Department and will help to underpin your research in a very practical sense. These lectures will run annually in the Michaelmas Term to serve as a solid basis for those beginning to carry out experimental research in the Department. Attendance at these lectures will provide you with the ability to choose the right technique(s) to answer the questions that you have regarding the molecules and/or materials you have made. If you would like to know any further information about our Departmental Facilities, you may also look at the relevant web pages, which you will find at: http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/analytical-data-services.
