Introduction to GC-MS Fragmentation and Interpretation

In this webcast we explore at the principles of fragmentation produced by electron impact ionization in GC-MS. 

Topics include:
•    A revision of covalent bonding theory
•    Odd and even electron species
•    The electron impact process
•    Ionization site formation and stabilization
•    An introduction to charge retention and charge migration fragmentation mechanisms

This complex, and often confusing topic, is presented in a manner accessible to delegates of all abilities, covering the foundation knowledge required for anyone needing to increase their understanding and confidence of the electron impact process and its relevance to NIST library searching or structural interpretation of novel compounds.
