[vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text] Introduction A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop fundamental aspects of mass spectrometry. These activities are intended to be done in class by students working in […]
a. Basic Concepts in Mass Spectrometry
After completing this activity, students will be able to: describe the relationship between the peak height in the mass spectrum and the natural abundance of isotopes differentiate between average mass, isotopic mass […]
Could toxic pesticides like DDT be responsible for the deaths of large numbers of lesser flamingos at Lake Nakuru, Kenya? While many organochlorine pesticides including DDT have been banned for decades in […]
After completing this activity, students will be able to: Identify the individual components of the MS and their respective functions. Describe how ions of different m/z are distinguished in a MS. Compare […]
Students predict the mass spectra for a variety of trihalomethanes. Peter Palmer, San Francisco State University (palmer@sfsu.edu)
Students work through the basics of the nitrogen rule as well its application to the EI and ESI mass spectra of cocaine. David Griffith, Willamette University (dgriffit@willamette.edu)
Students explore aspects of the Fourier transform process in an FT-ICR-MS instrument. David Griffith, Willamette University (dgriffit@willamette.edu)
This card game was designed for review sessions before instrumental analysis exams. Students draw and discard cards, attempting to collect one from each suit that comprise a logical set of components for […]
