Introduction to chromatography and mass spectrometry for biologists

5 -6 November 2014

Flyer

Lecturers

  • Gaëtan Glauser, Neuchâtel Platform of Analytical Chemistry (NPAC), University of Neuchâtel
  • Armelle Vallat, Neuchâtel Platform of Analytical Chemistry (NPAC), University of Neuchâtel

 

Objective

To be able to describe the major chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques, to select the appropriate approach for a particular issue; to provide a theoretical and practical background to students who wish to employ the techniques.

Content

The course covers the fundamental aspects of chromatography and mass spectrometry and their coupling as a powerful analytical tool. It includes lectures and practical demonstrations.

Course topics:

  • 1. Definition and general principles of chromatography
  • 2. Liquid chromatography (instrumentation, optimisation of separations, detectors)
  • 3. Gas chromatography (instrumentation, optimisation of separations, detectors)
  • 4. General principles of mass spectrometry
  • 5. Ionisation techniques for coupling chromatography and mass spectrometry
  • 6. Mass analysers and detectors
