This course introduces two common decomposition mechanisms to help identify unknown compounds from mass spectra. These two mechanisms are alpha cleavage and inductive cleavage.
This document describes the 'Introduction to Mass Spectral Interpretation II' (H5319A), a one-day lecture-only training course offered by Agilent Chemical Analysis Training Courses. The course aims to provide an understanding of fundamental fragmentation mechanisms to assist in identifying unknown compounds from mass spectra.
Students should have completed 'Introduction to Mass Spectral Interpretation I (H5319A)' or equivalent.
Students are advised to bring a calculator to aid in problem solving.
