This review is from: Mass Spectrometry: Principles and Applications (Paperback)

This book was the text in my first course in mass spectrometry. The book is a good introduction to MS for advanced undergrads and graduate students. I felt the book was very helpful, it covers the multitude of ionization sources, mass analyzers, and even tandem MS. I give it a thumbs up.

This review is from: Mass Spectrometry: Principles and Applications (Paperback)

This is a good quick-reference book for mass spectrometry if you want some information available on your shelf without always having to look up in the literature. I do wish, though, that the book contained more information about interpretation of fragmentation peaks.
