Mass Spectrometry A Textbook [Paperback]

This book offers a balanced mixture of practice-oriented information and theoretical background as well as numerous references, clear illustrations, and useful data tables. Problems and solutions are accessible via a special website. This new edition has been completely revised and extended; it now includes three new chapters on tandem mass spectrometry, interfaces for sampling at atmospheric pressure, and inorganic mass spectrometry.

Introduction.- Principles of Ionization and Ion Dissociation.- Isotopic Composition and Accurate Mass.- Instrumentation.- Practical Aspects of Electron Ionization.- Fragmentation of Organic Ions and Interpretation? of EI Mass Spectra.- Chemical Ionization.- Field Ionization and Field Desorption.- Tandem Mass Spectrometry.- Fast Atom Bombardment.- Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization.- Electrospray Ionization.- Ambient Mass Spectrometry.- Hyphenated Methods.- Inorganic Mass Spectrometry.

From the reviews of the second edition:

The expansive range of topics in mass spectrometry is well surveyed in this large volume. Gross & manages extraordinary breadth and adequate depth, delving into classical and current topics in theory, instrumentation, and applications. This work serves as a useful reference for those in the field & but also functions effectively as a textbook, with Learning Objectives for each chapter and several appendixes outlining step-by-step approaches for students to solve problems. & Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.??? (E. J. Chang, Choice, Vol. 49 (3), November, 2011)

Mass Spectrometry by J?rgen Gross is aimed at all mass spectrometrists and MS datals|
