This course is an introduction to the basic principles of mass spectrometry with detailed interpretation of each of its components. Topics include various modes of mass spectrometric detection such as electron impact (EI), electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) as well as selected ion mode (SIM) and selected reaction mode (SRM). Emphasis is on the principle and theory in interpretation of mass spectrum with examples of some commonly known drugs . A demonstration of GC-MS provides students with a first hand introduction to this powerful analytical technique.
