Online Mass Spectrometry Seminars
Upcoming seminar:
Date/Time: 18th March 2025 / 13:00 UTC
Topic: A brief introduction to mass spectral interpretation for even electron ions (LC-MS/MS)
This workshop will run through the best practice for acquiring decent mass spec data necessary for their interpreation leading towards characterisation of unknown compounds. Collision induced dissociation of even electron ions will be discussed formed from electrospray ionisation techniques. A variety of worked examples will be run through using various tools and rules including the nitrogen rule, isotope ratios and double bond equivelents.
Presenter: Giles Edwards

Why? When? Who? What?
The inspiration behind the establishment of this online mass spectrometry seminar platform was driven by our passion for the subject and wish to share with as wide an audience as possible. The platform facilitates academics, engineers and enthusiasts to share their research and mass spectrometry experience with others across the Globe.
The seminar sessions are free to attend, to start with, speakers will be invited to share their work, however, members are most welcome to apply to present and join the program. Audience participation is encouraged and there will be a question-and-answer session at the end of each seminar.
Dr. Giles Edwards FRSC
Giles is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and has been working with mass spectrometry systems since 2000 in various capacities. These include at present consultancy with Anthias Consulting Ltd, development of a novel mass spectrometry platform and contract analysis with Artemis Analytical Ltd as well as working in the nuclear physics group at the University of Manchester. Giles also founded the Recycling Organisation for Research Opportunities in 2005 that donates refurbished mass spectrometry systems to academics in developing countries, everyone needs a mass spectrometer.
Dr. Hendrik Kersten
Hendrik´s background is physical chemistry (teaching and research) and he has been playing around with all kinds of mass spectrometers in various fields of application since 2007. He is head of the institute for pure and applied mass spectrometry (ipaMS) at the University of Wuppertal, organizes workshops in fundamental mass spectrometry and implemented a two semester module in the chemistry master with two lectures and a lab course covering the broad interdisciplinary field of mass spectrometry.
