After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain principles and mechanisms of the gaseous phase ionization techniques and desorption/ionization techniques, to identify principles and efficiencies of "high end" mass-spectrometric analyser, to categorise different mass-spectrometers as well as to name typical application examples in the field of biomedical engineering.
Copies of Powerpoint slides will be available via TISS.
