This 3-day hands-on course will introduce you to using the Q Exactive mass spectrometer in your metabolomics investigations. The course is aimed at students and researchers with minimal previous experience of applying liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in metabolomics. The course will be led by experts in the field and include lectures, laboratory sessions and computer workshops to provide:

• An introduction to metabolomics, LC-MS and using the Q Exactive mass spectrometer in your studies
• Sample preparation for analysis of polar and lipid metabolites in metabolic profiling and targeted studies
• Instrument methods and data acquisition for profiling and targeted studies
• Data processing and data analysis
• Introduction to metabolite identification

The course will finish with a question and answer session with a panel of experts.
