Mass Spectral and GC Data of Drugs, Poisons, Pesticides, Pollutants and Their Metabolites (Part IV) [Hardcover]

Karl Pfleger (Author), Hans H. Maurer (Author), Armin A. Weber (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3527288805 | ISBN-13: 978-3527288809 | Publication Date: June 22, 2000 | Edition: Part IV

Announcing a new volume of Pfleger/Maurer/Weber: Mass Spectral and GC Data of Drugs, Poisons, Pesticides, Pollutants and Their Metabolites. Unmatched in scope, quality and reliability, this collection is the result of a unique effort.

Part 4 of this famous reference work contains

- 2000 new mass spectra (more than 6300 in Part 1-4)
- data of nearly all the new drugs relevant to clinical and forensic toxicology, doping control, food chemistry, etc.
- nearly complete coverage of trimethylsilylated, perfluoroacylated, perfluoroalkylated and methylated compounds
- data revision of already published volumes in this second edition
- updated sections on sample preparation and GC-MS methods
- tables covering all the data of Parts 1-4 with directions as to page and volume on/in which the data can be found as well as the appropriate entry numbers of the electronic versions (tables listed by names and categories).

The complete set of Part 1-4 now comprises more than 6300 mass spectra and reaches far beyond the needs of clinical and forensic toxicologists. The inclusion of pesticides and pollutants makes this data collection invaluable for environmental chemists, occupational toxicologists and food analysts, too.


The data of the supplement volume will also be provided as an up-grade of the computer libraries (PMW_TOX3) by producers of mass spectrometers, e.g., Hewlett Packard, Finnigan (MAT, CE, Automass), Shimadzu and Varian.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From reviews of the first edition:
This book is extremely important for all those using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for substance detection and identification in clinical and forensic toxicology ... The work is unique ... it provides a monumental reference work that should be available in every laboratory using GC-MS in clinical and forensic toxicology ... to the experienced worker, this book will be invaluable. The authors are to be congratulated not only for their tremendous amount of work, but also for offering their vast experience to their colleagues in the field in an outstanding way.
Rokus A. de Zeeuw, Journal of Chromatography

There can be not doubt of the great value of this reference collection. It provides, for the first time, a comprehensive set of retention indices and mass spectra organized to allow a rapid search for and identification of biologically active compounds. The presentation is of a high quality, and the reproduction of the spectra is very clear. All reputable toxicological laboratories should have access to this collection, and it should quickly earn its keep.
Alan Townshend, Analytica Chimica Acta

From the Back Cover

K. Pfleger, H.H. Maurer, A. Weber Mass Spectral and GC Data of Drugs, Poisons, Pesticides, Pollutants and Their Metabolites Part 4 Second, revised and enlarged edition Unmatched in scope, quality and reliability, this collection is the result of a unique effort. Part 4 of this famous reference work contains

• 2000 new mass spectra
• data of nearly all the new drugs relevant to clinical and forensic toxicology, doping control, food chemistry, etc.
• nearly complete coverage of trimethylsilylated, perfluoroacylated, perfluoroalkylated and methylated compounds
• data revision of already published volumes in this second edition
• updated sections on sample preparation and GC-MS methods
• tables covering all the data of Parts 1?4 with directions as to page and volumes on/in which the data can be found as well as the appropriate entry numbers of the electronic versions (tables listed by names and categories).

The complete set of Part 1?4 now comprises more than 6300 mass spectra and reaches far beyond the needs of clinical and forensic toxicologists. Above all, the inclusion of pesticides and pollutants makes this data collection invaluable for environmental chemists, occupational toxicologists and food analysts, also. From reviews of the second edition of Parts 1 to 3: "?a comparison of the spectra entries reveals that the standard collections only partly cover the range of compounds included in this Pfleger/Maurer/Weber library, which is expressly intended for use in systematic clinical and toxicological analysis, and is also important resource for toxicological work in the fields of legal medicine, the workplace, food analysis, and the environment, as well as the control of doping. Whereas computerized spectra libraries often consist of reduced mass spectra, those reproduced in these volume are complete spectra with much useful additional information" Angewandte Chemie International Edition
