National Workshop on Concepts and Applications: Recent events included a three-day national workshop on “Concepts and Applications of Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)” organised by Aligarh Muslim University’s University Sophisticated Instruments Facility (USIF). The goal of the workshop was to educate novice and intermediate users in the scientific, medical, and life science communities about important insights and real-world information in the area of LC-MS.

Fundamental LC-MS concepts, practical methods, applications, and the most recent advancements in the area were the focus of the National Workshop. Participants used it as a platform to gain a thorough understanding of LC-MS and its numerous applications, which include quantifying proteomes, drug metabolites, nucleotides, and derivatives in a range of biological samples, including bacterial cells, proteins, natural products, and enzyme structures.
