A nice combination training for those who work with LC-MS/MS, or want to start working, but want to gain more knowledge of the technology used and also want to get to know the software better.

Have you always wanted to know what exactly happens inside a Mass Spectrometer? How exactly does ionization work and how can you make an impact on it? What are matrix effects and how can you reduce them? What exactly are dwell times? How does the hardware of the MS work?

This training further focuses on the use of MassLynx and TargetLynx. After this training, you will hopefully no longer have to perform manual integrations and you will be able to efficiently assess your analysis series. You will practice this directly during the training on a laptop provided. A nice combination for those who are not yet familiar with the software or want a refresher of it.

The training will consist of about half a day of MS Theory and one and a half days for the software.

The knowledge gained will make you more confident when analyzing samples with LC-MS/MS.

This training will take place at our Wilmslow facility.

Topics during the training include:

LC-MS Theory:

• What is mass spectrometry
  • Definition of mass
  • Isotopes
  • MRM
  • Dwell times
• Ionization
  • Electrospray ionization (ESI)
  • Effect settings tune page
  • Adduct formation
  • Matrix effect
• Hardware
  • Ion source, Mass Analyzer, Detector

MassLynx:

• MassLynx Architecture, project management
• Working with the sample list
• Acquisition Methods
• Working with Chromatograms and Spectra

TargetLynx:

• Basics of Quantitation & TargetLynx
• TargetLynx Method Editor: Basic Settings
• Process Samples from the Sample List
• TargetLynx Method Editor: Advanced Flagging Parameters
• TargetLynx Browser: Overview & Reprocessing
• TargetLynx Browser: Reporting & Exporting
• TrendPlot: Overview & Functionality
• QuanPedia: Overview & Functionality

• Analysts running routine analysis with LC-MS/MS.
• Analysts who develop LC-MS methods but lack some theoretical background

Basic knowledge of LC is desirable.

Laptops will be made available during the day so that every participant can work in the software themselves.
