Advanced Comprehensive GC-MS (Agilent QTOF with MassHunter)
This comprehensive course provides training on the Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer, following the Comprehensive GC-MS (Agilent SQMS) course.
This Comprehensive training course provides training on the Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer, following on from theComprehensive GC-MS (Agilent SQMS with MassHunter)course.
The course introduces the fundamental principles of accurate mass data from TOF-MS instruments and principles of MS/MS and the use of Q-TOF for MS/MS experiments.
It looks at the hardware and maintenance differences between the single quadrupole and Time-of-Flight MS instruments including method development, before moving onto the MassHunter software for use with TOF-MS and Q-TOF MS/MS data. It combines a mixture of classroom based presentations with exercises, to give you comprehensive training.

Who is this course for?
This course is primarily for analysts and technicians responsible for the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of Agilent GC-QTOF instruments using MassHunter software with previous experience of single quadrupole instruments.
Attendees must have good experience of Agilent single or quadrupole GC-MS instruments using MassHunter software or have attended the Comprehensive GC-MS (Agilent SQMS with MassHunter) or Comprehensive GC-MS (Agilent QQQMS with MassHunter) courses and are transitioning to the Agilent GC-QTOF MS.
