An Audiocassette Course from the American Chemical Society
INTERPRETATION OF MASS SPECTRA
T
his new audiocassette course teaches you how to make the most effective use of mass spectrometric instrumentation and improve the quality of the analytical information produced. A previous bestseller, it covers a variety of topics — from the fundamental principles of mass spectrometry to newer, electronic forms of ionization and interpretation of the corresponding spectra. It also covers spectra produced by alternative ionization methods as well as additional mass spectrometry techniques that can provide valuable information.

It gives you a better understanding of ancillary instrumental techniques — such as library search and accurate mass measurement. Ancillary chemical techniques, including the use of stable isotopes and derivative formation, are also examined. In addition, this course will give you the know how to interpret spectra derived from alternative ionization techniques and apply mass spectrometry to problems in qualitative or quantitative analysis. You'll become more knowledgeable on how to select the appropriate ionization technique to solve a particular analytical problem.
After completing this course, you'll be able to: • Use mass spectrometry with other spectroscopic techniques in elucidating chemical structures • Effectively design experiments to provide a wide range of analytical information • Improve the quality of analytical information in a wide range of disciplines, e.g., synthesis, structural elucidation, quality control, toxicology, environmental trace analysis • Provide analytical information for a wide range of compound types • Give advice on the purchase of mass spectrometric instrumentation Instructor John Ft. Chapman is currently Analytical Systems Manager in the Mass Spectrometry Division of Kratos Analytical. He received his B.S. in chemistry from Imperial College, London, in 1960 and Ph.D. from Oxford University in 1963.. After leaving Oxford, he spent three years on the staff of the Medical Research Council. Dr. Chapman is the author of two text books and numerous research publications.
