In this short course, we will cover a wide range of topics related to mass spectrometry practices and answer some frequently asked questions about the use and capabilities of such instruments. We'll go over a brief history of mass spectrometry and highlight some technological advances in mass spectrometry. More importantly, we will cover how a mass spectrometer works from ionization to different mass analyzer types. Lastly, we will also focus on the fundamentals of metabolomics-based mass spectrometry and key ideas to think about when planning your mass spectrometry experiments for untargeted metabolomics.
