About the Fall Workshop

The workshop will focus on fundamentals related to transport, analysis, and detection of ions in MS experiments. The workshop will include topics related to the manipulation of ions during tandem MS experiments. The workshop will include the transport of ions at intermediate pressures and the integration of ion mobility into hybrid instruments. 

This is not an introductory level workshop, attendees are expected to understand the basics of ionization mechanisms, dissociation mechanisms, and interpretation and application of ion mobility. Attendees not familiar with these topics are encouraged to watch educational videos in the Fundamentals category on the ASMS website.

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the principles of the primary technologies used to transport, analyze, and detect ions in MS experiments.
  • Summarize the figures of merit for those technologies.
  • Compare the utility of different technologies for specific applications.
