The course aims to provide an updated overview of fundaments of mass spectrometry instrumentation hyphenated with cromatographic or ICP instruments, and of principles of validation of an analytical method.
At the end of the course students will have gained skills related to general aspects and applications of: 1) the different couplings between mass spectrometers and chromatographic or ICP instruments in relationship to the nature of the analytical problem, 2) the validation process of an analytical method, in relation to its most significant parameters (i.e. LoD, linearity, precision and trueness).
