** Answer: No. We cover those topics but we assume that people have no background when they start the class. We strongly recommend donwloading a [http://www.wavemetrics.com/support/demos.htm demo version of Igor] and going through the [http://www.wavemetrics.com/products/igorpro/manual.htm Getting Started section of the manual] and the [http://www.wavemetrics.com/products/igorpro/videotutorials.htm Video tutorials] before the class starts.

This is the new home for the CU-Boulder Graduate Course CHEM-5181: Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography

  • The old web page is located here, and I'll be gradually move things over to this Wiki page, which is much easier to update.

Course Information

  • This course WILL be offered in Fall 2011, and WILL NOT be offered in Fall 2012
  • Fall 2010 Syllabus
  • Registering for the course:
    • Every CU student attending the course needs to register, either as (a) for grade; (b) for pass/fail; or (c) for "Audit/No Credit".
    • For non-CU students, you can register for the course through the CU Continuing Education Program ("ACCESS"), again as either (a) for grade; (b) for pass/fail; or (c) for "Audit/No Credit".
  • Lectures: Tue & Thu 11:00-12:15, Ekeley W166
  • Labs: to be determined, based on the student and MS facility schedules (typically three Tue afternoons 1-3 pm)
  • Office hours: immediately after class on Tue & Thu
  • Textbooks:
    • de Hoffmann & Stroobant. Mass Spectrometry, Principles and Applications, 3rd. Ed. ISBN: 0471485667; Library: QD96.M3 H6413 2007
    • McLafferty & Turecek Interpretation of Mass Spectra, 4th Ed., ISBN: 0935702253; Library: QC454.M22 1993;

FAQs about CHEM-5181

  • Can I audit the class?
    • Answer: Yes, but you need to register through the ACCESS Program. Auditors typically attend lectures but do not do the labs, homeworks, or exams, unless they want to.
  • But I don't want to register at all. Can I still audit the class?
    • Answer: No.
  • I work in industry and use MS in my work, can I take the class?
    • Answer: Yes, registering through the ACCESS Program. Some things to think about: (a) you need to have the relevant background or are willing to work to gain the background, especially if you want to take the class for credit. (b) This is a class for 1st year graduate students in Anaytical & Environmental Chemistry, and it takes quite a bit of work to take the class for credit. If you don't have much time for the class due to your work responsibilities, you should register as "Audit / No Credit".
