The College of Education for Pure Sciences Organizes a Training Course on the Applications and Uses of Mass Spectroscopy.
The Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a training course entitled “Applications and Uses of Mass Spectroscopy.”
The course was presented by faculty members: Dr. Shaimaa Hamza Dili, Asst. Lect. Alaa Hadi Hussein, and Asst. Lect. Nahla Jaber Hussein.
This course aimed to introduce participants to the fundamental principles of mass spectroscopy, the mechanism of the instrument, and its main components. It also covered understanding different ionization methods, interpreting mass spectra, determining molecular mass and fractionation patterns of compounds, and exploring the practical applications of mass spectroscopy in the chemical, environmental, medical, and pharmaceutical fields.
The course also focused on developing practical skills in operating a mass spectrometer.
The course included several topics, such as an introduction to mass spectroscopy and its importance in modern chemical analysis, the basic components of a mass spectrometer and how each part works, and an explanation of different ionization methods, their types, and their applications.
The researchers recommended focusing on such topics to ensure the establishment of advanced training courses that enhance practical experience in operating modern equipment. They also recommended equipping educational laboratories with modern mass spectrometers to keep pace with scientific advancements and encouraging students and researchers to use mass spectrometry in their scientific research.
