What will you learn on this course?
This practical software course on the powerful Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution and Identification System software mixes 50% presentations with 50% practical exercises using the software to get a good grasp of its capabilities in performing deconvolution to process your GC-MS data.
If you have complex samples with little chromatographic resolution or you need to check you have no co-elutions in your chromatogram, learn about using your analytical resolution with mass spectral deconvolution to unravel your mixed mass spectra for confirmation or identification of your co-eluting peaks.
Learning outcomes:
-
You will learn about analytical resolution in mass spectrometry
-
You will learn how to operate NIST's Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution and Identification System (AMDIS) software for the processing of complex spectra
-
You will learn how deconvolution works with the AMDIS software
-
You will gain practical experience in performing AMDIS deconvolution to obtain cleaned-up mass spectra
-
You will learn and gain practical experience in various types of mass spectral deconvolution analysis in AMDIS including Simple, Retention Index and Internal standard methods
-
You will learn of the benefits of using AMDIS software for processing GC-MS data
This course requires fundamental knowledge of GC-MS and some background in understanding mass spectra.
