Agilent GCMS Training Courses


Are you working with Agilent mass spectrometry systems and would you like to develop your skills on the analysis technique, various hardware parts and their maintenance? Attend the MS training courses that Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions offers.

In the theoretical session we will explain the basics of the analytical technique. Next we will put the theory into practice by a hands-on learning-by-doing training. The mix of theoretical modules and hands-on training will extend the skills of the operators and scientists resulting in a maximum system uptime and productivity. All courses are taught by specialists having many years of experience in Gas Chromatography. Upon request we will schedule the training on-site using your laboratory equipment.

Basics Training Course MS

During this course you will learn more on the basic principles of mass spectrometry. Next we will explain in detail the various parts of a mass spectrometry system; starting from the interface up to and including the detector and vacuum system.

Topics of this one-day training course are:

  • Basic principle and terminology
  • Mass spectrometry instrumentation
  • Tuning and Mass calibration
  • Effects of various parameters
  • Data acquisition methods: Full Scan and/or SIM
  • Introduction to the interpretation of mass spectra
  • Qualitative and quantitative analyses
  • Library Search
  • Electron Impact (EI) vs Chemical Ionization (CI)

Training Maintenance & Troubleshooting MS

To optimize the use of your GC / MS it is important that the system is properly maintained. By attending this course you will be able to recognize certain symptoms and to maintain the GC / MS system. We will also discuss various problems that may occur and how to solve them. This is done in theoretical and practical sessions.

The topics of the two-day training course are:

  • Clean ion source
  • Replace filaments and multiplier
  • Vacuum pump maintenance
  • Ramping and tuning parameters
  • Recognize problems and solve
  • Overview of (common) failures
