ChromCoach - Basic GC MS SQ

Join this introductory Mass Spectrometry Workstation Software (MSWS) webinar, designed for new and developing mass spectrometry users who want to build confidence in instrument operation, method creation, and data analysis. This webinar provides a practical walkthrough of the essential workflows used in everyday mass spectrometry laboratories. You'll learn how to prepare your system for analysis, verify instrument performance, create your first acquisition methods, and confidently identify compounds using spectral library searching tools. We'll begin by exploring the fundamentals of system tuning, explaining why tuning is critical, how to assess instrument performance, and what key parameters indicate a healthy, optimized system. You'll also learn how to perform an air and water check, a vital diagnostic procedure used to monitor system cleanliness, identify leaks, and ensure your instrument is ready for reliable analysis. The session then moves into basic method creation, where you'll learn how to build a straightforward Full Scan acquisition method and understand the key settings that influence data quality. Finally, we'll introduce NIST library searching and data processing, demonstrating how to compare spectra, identify unknown compounds, and review analytical results efficiently.
