From the Back Cover
Mass Spectrometry: Principles ad Applications, Second Edition presents a complete overview of the principles, theories and key applications of modern mass spectrometry. Extensively revised and updated, the second edition of this highly successful introductory textbook focuses on recent developments in techniques and applications. All instrumental aspects of mass spectrometry are clearly and concisely described, with tandem mass spectrometry introduced early on and then developed in more detail in its own chapter. Now including greater coverage of ESI and MALDI, with biological and pharmaceutical applications featuring more prominently. Mass Spectrometry: Principles and Applications, Second Edition: Is extensively revised and updated with many figures redrawn and additional exercises included to encourage student understanding. Provides numerous references to relevant and useful website addresses Includes expanded coverage of biological applications with the inclusion of developing and new techniques Mass Spectrometry, Second Edition will be invaluable to undergraduates and postgraduates using this process in departments of chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacology, agriculture, material science and food science. It will also appeal to researchers looking for an overview of the latest techniques and developments. Reviews of the First Edition "The authors' coverage is comprehensive ....Diagrams and illustrations are clear, informative and well chosen...Highly recommended." Analyst 1997 "Due to the rapid development of new technologies, mass spectrometry is an explosively expanding field. This book...is the best source of current methods and available instrumentation. Upper-division undergraduates through practising professionals will benefit from this book." Choice 197 "...provides an excellent introduction to modern mass spectrometry... The authors are to be congratualted on having produced this account of modern mass spectrometry." RCM 1997
