KEMS534 Basic Principles of Mass Spectrometry (4 cr)
Description
Content
Course concentrates on basic concepts of mass spectrometry, interpretation of mass spectra as well as on structures and operational principles of different mass spectrometers. In addition basics of tandem mass spectrometry and most general applications of mass spectrometry will be discussed. Lectures will be held in english if one of participants is english speaking.
