Mass Spectrometry of Lipids [Hardcover]

This book examines closely the structure of various lipids through specific examples of mass spectral data obtained by different ionization techniques-including electron ionization, chemical ionization, and fast atom bombardment. Including over 80 complete mass spectra of lipids as well as over 120 detailed mechanistic schemes of their ion chemistry, this work will provide the advanced student and experienced mass spectroscopist with a fundamental base of information on fatty acyl-type lipids.Introduction and Mass Spectrometers.
