Course Overview
This 2-day course provides a hands-on approach to teach attendees about the latest techniques and tools available to perform metabolite identification in non-targeted metabolomics studies. The course is led by experts working within the field of metabolomics, and will include a significant proportion of hands-on experience of using mass spectrometers, software tools and databases. A maximum of four people will be working on each mass spectrometer (Q Exactive and LTQ-Orbitrap Elite) in a session.

- MS/MS experiments in metabolic phenotyping for on-line data acquisition using the QE (Data Dependent Analysis, Data Independent Analysis)
- MS/MS and MSn experiments for sample fractions using the LTQ-Orbitrap Elite
- Mass spectral libraries (using mzCloud)
- Searching mass spectral libraries
- Tools for mass spectral interpretation
- In silico fragmentation (using MassFrontier)
- Reporting standards for metabolite identification

"I enjoyed the practical part very much. "Learning by doing" is first of all very effective but the whole session was also a great opportunity to ask about some more specific practical parts of the metabolomics approach."
Rikke
"I enjoyed how hands on everything was - and how it was geared specifically towards the questions we had on our own research... Overall I thought it was excellent and I learned a ton."
Rachel
"The practical part was great and very dynamic. It was the first experience I had ever had and it resulted in a very promising contact with the new field."
