Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers a balanced mixture of practice-oriented information and theoretical background as well as numerous references, clear illustrations, and useful data tables. Problems and solutions are accessible via a special website. This new edition has been completely revised and extended; it now includes three new chapters on tandem mass spectrometry, interfaces for sampling at atmospheric pressure, and inorganic mass spectrometry.
Trade Review“This third edition has many sections that make it a practical resource, with information on how to conduct tasks and on new innovations. … this well-conceived text is valuable, well written, and clearly a labor of love. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals.” (J. Allison, Choice, Vol. 55 (6), February, 2018)
“This book does an excellent job at covering a lot of basic and complex material spanning a wide range of expertise. … This book would be a near ideal selection for those faculty teaching a graduate course in mass spectrometry.” (David C. Muddiman, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 410, 2018)
“Mass spectrometry is currently eclipsing all other methods for organic analysis. …The author has managed to create a style and presentation that is both pleasing and effective. … recommending it to chemists of all levels interested in mass spectrometry.” (Colin F. Poole, Chromatographia, Vol. 81 (2018)
