Advanced mass spectrometry
The course consists of a case study in mass spectrometry (MS) applied to an analytical question.
The work includes planning and designing laboratory experiments with appropriate MS methodology as well as literature studies.
The course provides practical experience in independently solving an analytical problem with MS.
