Fundamentals of Turning Liquid Into Ions: The basics of Agilent LCMS ion sources and how to choose the best source for your Compounds

For those new to doing LCMS this webinar starts by reviewing the basic principles on how Electrospray Ionization (ESI), Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) and Jet Stream Electrospray Ionization works and how to choose the correct source dependent on the compounds one is trying to detect.

The webinar briefly covers start parameters and best practices in optimized source conditions again related to the compounds of interest.

The webinar will include a live demonstration of using QTOF worklist to optimize source parameters.

A lengthy interactive live question and answer period will follow the webinar, so come prepared with questions in which our application and field engineers can help solve your potential problems.

Presenter: David Weil, PhD (Senior Applications Scientist, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)

David Weil is a senior applications scientist in Agilent located in Wood Dale with over 30 years of experience using mass spectrometry. Prior to joining Agilent in 2004, he worked for 14 years at 3M in the Corporate Research Analytical Laboratories (St.Paul, MN) and 4 years at Nicolet/Extrel doing ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry. David received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Minnesota and Post Doc with Dr Charles Wilkins at University of California-Riverside developing laser desorption FTMS and ion-molecule reactions. David has three grown sons and live with his wife Naomi just blocks from Wrigley Field and Lake Michigan.
