GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/ MASS SPECTROMETRY An Audio Course from the American Chemical Society Lab technicians, managers, researchers, and students — here's a new course that will help you master the "cardinal rules" of interpreting and processing GC/MS data. With this course, you'll learn how to accurately achieve the results and analyses you want. You'll cover the basic concepts of GC/MS as well as explore the dynamics of instrumentation hardware. And you'll investigate the kinds of analyses possible and be able to: • assess the quality of data • interpret and process data • approach problems and adapt strategies to fit your needs. Here's just a sampling of what this widely applicable course includes: Introduction Review the fundamentals of GC and MS. Study an example of a GC/MS application. Mass Spectral Data Interpretation Learn about instrumentation and the fundamentals of data interpretation. Recognize the molecular ion peak and isotope peaks. Begin interpreting fragmentation patterns and analyze unknowns for identification. Sample introduction Systems Cover direct probe inlet, oil diffusion pump, and vacuum conduits on ion source. Examine molecular separators and the effects of inlet systems on data. Data Acquisition Study data acquisition systems and computer operations. Survey data output, background subtraction, and magnified presentations. Quantitative and Qualitative Applications Study examples of quantitative applications, selected ion current profile, and calibration plots. Examine sample handling. Chemical Ionization Begin with an introduction to chemical ionization and go on to look at examples. Learn negative CI methods. High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Learn about current instrumentation and study examples. Review the element map. Although no experience with GC or MS is necessary, you should have a general knowledge of analytical techniques to fully benefit from this course. About the Instructor: J. Throck Watson is a Professor in the Departments of Biochemistry and Chemistry at Michigan State University. He is also Director of
the NIH/MSU Mass Spectrometry Facility at Michigan State. For the past seven years he has taught a highly-rated ACS Short Course on GC/MS.
