Scope of mass spectrometry a textbook in the light of an ever growing abundance of methods instruments tools and rules in mass spectrometry the ease of how a complex field of analytical science can be grasped mentally certainly deserves attention. This highly successful textbook acclaimed for its comprehensiveness accuracy and its many excellent illustrations and photographs now comes in its second edition completely revised and substantially extended it offers new chapter on tandem mass spectrometry covering instrumentation methods. Mass spectrometry a textbook will guide them from their first steps to the successful application of mass spectrometry in their daily work in research starting from the very principles of gas phase ion chemistry and isotopic properties it leads through the design of mass analyzers and the ionization methods in use to mass spectral interpretation and coupling techniques. When working with mass spectra it is always useful to have some basic methodology and procedures at hand here is a compilation of five compact flow charts and tables from the 3rd edition of mass spectrometry a textbook that can be downloaded for your convenience 1 ms method selection guide 2
