Mass Spectrometry Lab Rotation B
This course will be a hands-on intensive laboratory rotation. Students will learn how to perform normal LC-mass spectrometer general upkeep including HPLC setup, mass spectrometer calibration, quality control, etc. Students will then learn the process of running mass spectrometers for two types of approaches: discovery and targeted mode.
Prerequisites: Enrollment in CAMS-MS program.
Outcomes: At the end of this course students will be able to: 1) Setup HPLC, mass spectrometer and software; 2) Perform normal instrument upkeep including calibration, quality control, solution changes; 3) Be able to troubleshoot common instrument issues; 4) Analyze sample on mass spectrometer for discovery (two group comparison); 5) Analyze sample on mass spectrometer for targeted quantification (in simple solution); 6) Use bioinformatics software packages to analyze data from mass spectrometers; and 7) Understand how to present mass spectrometry data.
