Description
Book SynopsisAmbient ionization has emerged as one of the hottest and fastest growing topics in mass spectrometry enabling sample analysis with minimal sample preparation. Introducing the subject and explaining the basic concepts and terminology, this book will provide a comprehensive, unique treatise devoted to the subject. Written by acknowledged experts, there are full descriptions on how new ionization techniques work, with an overview of their strengths, weaknesses and applications. This title will bring the reader right up to date, with both applications and theory, and will be suitable as a tutorial text for those starting in the field from a variety of disciplines.
Trade Review"fulfils the need to collate all the current knowledge about this rapidly evolving field." "this book will be an invaluable reference for anybody working in this field from undergraduates through to experienced mass spectrometrists." -- Andrew Ray * Published in Chromatographia *
