Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book provides a broad source of information on ICP-MS spectrometry in a coherent single volume. Renowned contributors define the theory, diagnostics, instrumentation, analytical applications of ICP-MS, fundamental aspects of ICP-MS, sample introduction systems and RF generators from ICP-MS, and comparisons of ICP-MS with other plasma source mass spectrometric techniques. Much of this material is not available from any existing source.

From the Back Cover

"The most comprehensive recent treatise on ICPMS." --Velmer A. Fassel, Distinguished Professor of Science and Humanities and Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, Iowa State University

"Challenges [to improve ICPMS] are being addressed by researchers around the world. Many of these individuals have contributed to this volume, and several of their solutions to current problems can be found in individual chapters." --Gary M. Hieftje, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Chairman, Department of Chemistry, Indiana University.

"[This] excellent source of information on the fundamentals, instrumentation, methodologies, and applications of ICPMS is . . . welcomed by this scientist and fills a well-defined need." --James D. Winefordner, Graduate Research Professor Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, Gainesville.

While ICPMS has been a commercially available method of multielement and multi-isotope analysis since 1983, the growing number of ICPMS manufacturers entering the marketplace in the 1990s has led to an exponential increase in its use over the past several years. This, in turn, has led to a profusion of novel applications and analytical findings and a concurrent explosion in the world literature on the subject. Bringing together the insights and expertise of 27 scientists from seven countries, this A-to-Z guide to performing ICPMS reflects all of the important recent developments in the field.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry equips students, laboratory managers, and professionals with current, comprehensive coverage of:
* Fundamental aspects of ICPMS
* Analytical applications--including numerous real-world examples
* Sample preparation and introduction systems and RF generators
* Ar ICP versus other plasma source spectrometric techniques
* Cutting-edge ICPMS instrumentation, theory, and applications not covered elsewhere.

Providing an up-to-date, hands-on ICPMS tutorial, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry is an indispensable working resource for analytical chemists and spectroscopists.
