Course content
Physico-chemical basics of mass-spectrometry (MS) method and its conjunction with preliminary separation methods such as gas and liquid chromatography are studied. Also the approaches of tamdem MS, laser desorption-ionization MS, isotope ratio MS and inductively coupled plasma are under interest. The approaches and practical aspects of above methods application for wide range of analytical tasks such as analysis of environemental probes, biomedical studies and techmological processes control are consiered.
