The training course on interpretation of mass spectra is designed to develop the fundamental skills necessary to understand fragmentation of ions formed by electron ionization (EI) in GC/MS or by one of the soft ionization techniques employed in LC/MS. Many of the examples are taken from EI mass spectrometry; however, the principles that are learned are applicable to any ionization technique.

Other important topics covered are:
• Determination of elemental composition from accurate mass measurements and the relative intensity of isotope peaks
• The use of Library Search Programs and databases of mass spectra with EI data and data obtained using collisionally activated dissociation
• Discussion of the different types of m/z analyzers and the different types of ions encountered in modern mass spectrometry

This training course teaches you the important skills of how to determine the “quality” of a mass spectrum and how to decide if the mass spectrum is worthy of an attempted mass spectral interpretation. Whatever your experience level, you will gain valuable knowledge in this course. 
The interpretation of mass spectra training course is offered several times throughout the year as a three-day classroom course.

O. David Sparkman is currently an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California; Consultant to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Mass Spectrometry Data Center; President of ChemUserWorld.com; and a former American Chemical Society Instructor and American Society for Mass Spectrometry Member-at-large for Education. At the University of the Pacific he teaches courses in mass spectrometry and analytical chemistry and manages the mass spectrometry facility. Over the past 28 years, he has developed and taught five different ACS courses in mass spectrometry. He is the author of Mass Spectrometry Desk Reference. 1st and 2nd editions; Introduction to Mass Spectrometry, 4th ed. with J. Throck Watson and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry: A Practical Guide, 2nd ed. with Zelda Penton.
