At the end of June, on 25-27th, two PhD fellows from our group Pilleriin and Eliise attended FT-ICR-MS short course, this time locating in Rome, Italy. Three-days course included both lectures from FT-ICR experts like Jevgeny Nikolaev, Maria Elisa Crestoni, Simonetta Fornarini, and hands-on lab practices. The central theme for the short-course was ion-molecule reactions. During these days, attendees were able to see how ion-molecule reaction experiments are conducted in the University of Sapienza, also get tutorial on how to process all of this extensive data from this process. The FT-ICR used in Sapienza is a 4.7 T Bruker Apex II instrument.
EU_FT-ICR-MS summer school and short course series is altogether a four-year-long project, which aim is to bring together all the scientist using FT-ICR all over Europe and promote the usage of this instrument. During this program 2018-2021, it is also possible to submit your project to use any of the FT-ICR instruments provided in this community.
