Abstract
The purpose of this Technology Transition Workshop is to provide the student with an introduction to biological mass spectrometry; the Ibis T5000™ and T6000™ platforms, their applications, and assay protocols; an overview of the T5000™ hardware and its maintenance; and the use of the Ibis software for data analysis. Students will also receive instruction on mitochondrial DNA analysis; mitochondrial DNA mixture detection, analysis, and interpretation; statistics of polymorphic STR alleles; and future directions of biological mass spectrometry. Use of the Ibis T5000™ Mass Spectrometer Platform will be demonstrated, allowing students to take samples that they amplify through analysis and data interpretation using Ibis mtDNA software.
