Book Description

0849313546 978-0849313547 June 26, 2002 1
Mass Spectrometry Basics provides authoritative yet plain-spoken explanations of the basic concepts of this powerful analytical method without elaborate mathematical derivations. The authors describe processes, applications, and the underlying science in a concise manner supported by figures and graphics to further comprehension. The text provides practical approaches to interpreting mass spectral data and step-by-step guides for identifying chemically relevant compounds. Additionally, the authors have included an extensive reference section and a quick guide to each chapter that offers immediate access to key information.

This unique reference makes some of the esoteric aspects of this important area of analysis more readily comprehensible to those who deal with analytical instruments but who have not been trained in mass spectrometry. It also serves as a refresher for practicing mass spectroscopists by clarifying principles to afford a better appreciation and application of this technology.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly organized and unsuitable for a newcomer to mass spec, August 17, 2004
By 
Sam T (California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mass Spectrometry Basics (Hardcover)
This book might present a useful source of information for someone already well versed in the field of mass spectrometry but it would be of little help to a newcomer. The book covers a lot of specialist areas in whole chapters - plasmas, lasers, nebulisers - over many chapters and the remaining more commonly used tools in mass spectrometry are poorly organised. There are whole chapters on proprietory approaches like Z-spray, and other areas are misplaced in the text. CI for instance precedes EI, isotopes are not discussed until chapter 46, dual analyser hybrid instruments are discussed ahead of each of their components, eg. quadrupoles. Ch 40 on peptide MS is followed by one on EPA protocols, and a second on computers? Ch 45 covers an intro to biotechnology where the very peptides are defined? The authors acknowledge the text was more a series of articles than a book, but it leaves the reader with a muddled and incomplete coverage of mass spectrometry.
