Mass Spectrometry

Who wants to smash molecules into little bits? A mass spectrometer does, that's who. This is a good technique for corroborating molecular structure, because we can make sure the puzzle pieces fit the right way. Check it out!

    I just started an analytical job, and the chemist I’m shadowing tried to explain this to me over the course of 3 hours. I was so overwhelmed because when I learned this is university I used professor Dave’s videos and aced all my exams. But now I’m working with cannabinoids for the first time, and the computer does the majority of this work for you. I’m even more confused now. Sometimes the computer finds a 90% match and we are told to always stick with the computers choice if it’s above an 80%. If it’s below we’re supposed to just compare NIST charts to our results and determine to the best of our abilities. There are about 400 cannabinoid terpenes, and I genuinely don’t know how to approach my job compared to university work. Should I go off and study the NIST charts? Should I just give it time and learn as I go? I’m so lost and everyone I have shadowed at work has been with the company for 4+ years. They suck at teaching because it’s second nature, but I’m not sure how to configure work life. I’m so used to cramming and studying until 3am for lectures. Do I study for work? Or do I keep myself sane?
