Hours of instruction:

Weekly: five hours of lectures + three hours of study research work

Goals:

Students should get acquainted with the following areas of instrumental methods:

  1. Multipulse 1D (1H, 13C, 15N and 31P), 2D, 3D and 4D NMR methods, semi-solid state NMR (HR-MAS NMR) as well as their application.
  2. Mass spectrometry (MS), Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and multistage mass spectrometry (MSn) and MALDI imaging in biomedical sample analysis (Determination of protein structure. Analytical profiling of complex mixtures e.g. tissue).
  3. Analytical profiling of complex mixtures, e.g. blood and urine samples.
  4. Medicinal diagnostics.

Outcome:

Students will be trained for processing the recorded spectra and solving the structures of organic compounds using multipulsed NMR experiments and modern mass spectrometry methods. Moreover, students will be able to prepare and profiling samples of complex mixtures in various matrixes by advanced instrumental methods.
