Your comprehensive guide to using Agilent MassHunter software for inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with a single quadrupole MS (SQMS)
Learn all about Agilent MassHunter software for inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) focusing on single quadrupole (SQ) MS with this 2-day, chemistry centred course. MassHunter software will be itnroduced alongside the principles of ICP-MS operation and data analysis, combining classroom-based presentations with exercises using Agilent MassHunter software, to provide Comprehensive ICP-MS software training. Enhance your understanding further with instrument parts to handle and see (virtual) including an ICP torch, peristaltic pump and MS quadrupole.
This course is ideal for professionals, students, analysts, and technicians responsible for the operation of Agilent ICP-MS and/or data analysis using MassHunter software. The ICP-MS presentations go into detail of how to program MassHunter, from PC configuration to customising data reports alongside how to perform sample analysis from methods and sequences to quantitation and steps to achieve results. Throughout the training the knowledge you learn will be reinforced with lab-based exercises using Agilent MassHunter software, in the lab or in the (virtual) classroom.
Why should I join?
On completion, you will have in-depth knowledge of how to use MassHunter software effectively, providing you with the skills necessary to go back to your lab and confidently work with MassHunter to operate and process data with Agilent ICP-MS instrumentation.
This Comprehensive ICP-MS software course gives you:
- Strong theoretical and practical skills on Agilent ICP-MS MassHunter software
- Clear explanations of MassHunter for ICP-MS following a step-by-step approach
- A clear work through of MassHunter from setting-up and preparation through to quantitative data analysis and how to perform a sample measurement
- Software exercises, creating calibration curves, producing performance reports and performing quantitative data analysis
- Chemistry methodology with a ‘how to’ and ‘why’ perspective rather than just pressing buttons
This is your opportunity to attend Comprehensive software training, enabling you to properly understand and use your Agilent ICP-MS MassHunter software efficiently and effectively.
What would I learn?
Delivered at a clear, enjoyable pace, it gives not only the practical skills but also the confidence to use your own MassHunter system efficiently and effectively back in the lab. You will learn:
- Principles behind instrument operation and data analysis using Agilent MassHunter software including workflow to maximise efficiency in your sample analyses
- The software interface and how to navigate around MassHunter with ease
- How MassHunter communicates, and how to configure the ICP-MS hardware
- Explore data acquisition parameters within MassHunter software, and how to optimise ICP-MS performance
- Operation of MassHunter software to create and edit the parameters of methods, batches and sequences effectively
- Principles of data analysis and how to apply these in methods and reporting
What knowledge will I gain?
- Understand the fundamentals, theory and interface behind Agilent’s ICP-MS MassHunter software
- Gain practical experience in using MassHunter to perform a variety of tasks, including instrument set-up and checking instrument hardware such as the nebuliser and torch
- Grasp the reasons why to tune an ICP-MS prior to analysis and go through the steps
- Understand how to set up a method and parameters, selecting elements and setting standard levels for calibrations
- Determine how to use MassHunter for quantitative data analysis, exploring internal standard stability and how to adjust calibration curves
- Learn how to create a batch for analysis defining terms such as standards, blanks, and samples
- Fully comprehend Agilent ICP-MS MassHunter software from hardware setup through to data reporting
