Training Courses @ Training CenterEssential Operator Training Courses• Introductory courses at a Bruker training
center• Includes instrument control, data acquisition
and processing• Includes sample preparation and application-
specific training• If HPLC is required it includes application
relevant HPLC aspects but does not substi-tute an explicit HPLC training
• The number of participants is usually limited to 5 persons per course
• Price is per person and excludes all travel & lodging expenses
Advanced Operator Training Courses• Pre-requisite for attending a advanced
operator training courses is the successful participation in an essential operator training course.
• Price is per person and excludes all travel & lodging expenses
On-site Training CoursesOn-site Operator Training Courses• Contents are defined prior to the training
between the customer and Bruker training center.
• Time need should be calculated analogously to the factory training courses. Parameter optimization in your lab and of your instrument requires approx. an additional half day.
• The number of participants in the training is not limited but should not exceed a reason-able number to ensure a good interaction between trainees and trainer (usually up to 5 persons)
• Bruker reserves the right to convert an ordered on-site training into an in-house training in case of war, civil war, political instability, the risk of terrorist activity or natural disasters which pose a significant threat for Bruker employees. In this case Bruker will carry the costs for traveling in economy class to the Bruker training center providing the training as well as lodging costs for a maximum of three training partici-pants. Travel costs of accompanying persons not participating in the training cannot be covered.

Course TopicsIntroductionIntroduction to Metabolomics studies. Discus-sion of the design and setup of a metabolo-mics experiment.
Basics on statistical experiments Introduction to statistical data mining: PCA, T-Test and others.
Data (pre-)processingData handling in DataAnalysis. Feature extrac-tion using peakfinders and automation scripts. Data im- and export.
Statistical models in ProfileAnalysis Discussion of selected advanced models avail-able in PA.
Data qualityDetection and handling of outliers. Evaluation of the data quality.
Method development for targeted MSMS experimentsCreation and use of scheduled precursor lists for the identification of selected target com-pounds.
IntentionThis training is for users of Bruker ESI systems who want to successfully use the ProfileAnalysis Software for statistical analysis or label-free quantitation.
PrerequisiteAttendees should have a basic knowledge of ESI mass spectrometry (micrOTOF(-Q), Compact, Impact(HD), maXis(HD), Amazon series, Solarix series) with several weeks of experience with the instrument and the software. Additionally, they should have attended a Essential Operator Training course “Low molecular weight applications”, previously. Basic knowledge about statis-tics is of advantage.
DurationThe duration of the course is 1 day Please note: This course does not substitute an explicit HPLC training.
