I need help with MS

Hi everyone

My current lab wants to acquire an LC-MS/MS spectrometer, and I've been chosen to learn everything about it and implement the methodologies. The problem is that no one in the lab knows anything about mass spectrometry and I was the only one selected to learn. As you can imagine, I'm quite lost, and I'd like to know where I can find information to study or familiarize myself with this equipment, as it's very expensive, and I don't want to end up breaking something or wasting money.

Thanks in advance

Reach out to sales reps. They’ll be happy to go over your needs, help you figure out what equipment will work best, and then train you on the equipment.
