Chemistry: Graduate Lecture Series: (CT1) Fundamentals of Mass Spectrometry (previously Mass Spectrometry And Solution Phase NMR Spectroscopy)

CHARACTERISATION TECHNIQUES (CT)

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.
