Mass Spectrometry: Instrumentation, Interpretation, and Applications

Rolf Ekman,Jerzy Silberring,Ann M. Westman-Brinkmalm,Agnieszka Kraj,Dominic M. Desiderio,Nico M. Nibbering

Available on Wiley Online Library

Description

With contributions from noted experts from Europe and North America, Mass Spectrometry Instrumentation, Interpretation, and Applications serves as a forum to introduce students to the whole world of mass spectrometry and to the many different perspectives that each scientific field brings to its use. The book emphasizes the use of this important analytical technique in many different fields, including applications for organic and inorganic chemistry, forensic science, biotechnology, and many other areas. After describing the history of mass spectrometry, the book moves on to discuss instrumentation, theory, and basic applications.
