  Title  Fundamentals of GC/MS
  URL  http://eu.shimadzu.de/products/chromato/gcms/Tutor...
  Annotation  This tutorial provides an excellent introduction into the fundamentals of GC/MS. The tutorial consists of five sections: An introduction of mass and types of ions, ionization modes, hardware, figures of merit describing mass analyzer performance, and qualitative methods of GC/MS analysis - including library searches. Each section contains animations or simulations of chemical and physical interactions that pertain to mass spectrometry such as gas-phase ionization processes, fragmentation, mass analyzers, the importance of a vacuum, and detectors. A basic introduction to gas-liquid chromatography is also provided. The tutorial is intended to describe GC/MS at an introductory level, but does include theory at an intermediate level, which may be included or not depending on the intended audience. Information is presented in a Powerpoint style, and each figure has a Details tab which provides additional information on the subject. This website has excellent pedagogical value for students and new practitioners.
