Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry, Third Edition provides students with a complete overview of the principles, theories and key applications of modern mass spectrometry. Extensively revised and updated, the third edition of this successful textbook focuses on recent developments in techniques and applications. All instrumental aspects of mass spectrometry are clearly and concisely described. Emphasis is placed throughout the text on practical application examples. As with previous editions, it contains numerous tables of useful data, references and a series of exercises of increasing difficulty to encourage student understanding.

• Provides a complete overview of the principles, theories and applications of modern mass spectrometry
• An extensive revision and update including: increased coverage of MALDI and ESI, resolution and mass accuracy and activation of ions
• New material about instruments such as linear traps, Orbitrap, TOF/TOF, hybrid instruments, and about new atmospheric ionisation techniques such as APPI, DESI, DART. The range of applications has been expanded and newer methods such as metabolome are included
• Contains numerous examples and exercises to encourage student understanding

Mass Spectrometry: Principles and Applications, Third Edition will prove invaluable to undergraduates and postgraduates using this technique in departments of chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacology, agriculture, materials science and food science. It will also appeal to researchers looking for an overview of the latest techniques and developments.
