Mass Spectrometry Basics

Review

This book is intended … as a brief primer on the many flavors and applications of MS technology. As such, the novice will walk away with a taste of MS while the seasoned pioneer will see this book as a quick reference. … [T]he book sets the reader up to read … more complex books down the road. And each chapter is spiced with figures, tables, and schematics that help the reader understand how this technology comes together.
- Today's Chemist at Work

…can be used by all categories of readership…The book is developmental in nature - beginning with basics of the process and proceeding stepwise to more detailed analyses of each aspect of the method…Highly recommended
