This course introduces methods for interpreting mass spectra, including the selection of mass spectrometers, the collection of mass spectra and the interpretation of mass spectra
This document serves as a training manual for the Agilent H5313A Mass Spectra Interpretation course. It focuses on teaching the fundamentals of fragmentation mechanisms to support the identification of unknown compounds based on their mass spectra.
The guide details how to use common decomposition mechanisms, such as alpha cleavage, to determine molecular structures and distinguish between possible isomers. It specifies that participants must be able to calculate molecular formulas from isotopic abundances. This manual is written in Italian.
The course is designed to determine the structure of esters, ketones, ethers, aldehydes, amines, alkyl halides, acids, hydrocarbons, and alcohols.
A calculator is required for the exercises.
Participants must be able to calculate molecular formulas from isotopic abundances to complete 50 percent of the exercises.
