Practical Approach Book
Short Description
LC-MS has become an indispensable tool for problem solving in virtually all analytical fields and is particularly useful for the separation and indentification of complex mixtures or organic/biological compounds. Suitable for laboratory professionals who wish to understand the LC-MS technique but perhaps do not have a strong chemistry background, as well as for students studying the subject, this book is the first of its kind to concentrate on the technique's fundamental principles.
First explaining the basic principles of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry and then discussing the current applications and practical benefits of LC-MS, along with descriptions of the basic instrumentation, this title will prove to be the indispensable reference source for everyone wishing to use this increasingly important tandem technique.
* First book to concentrate on principles of LC-MS
* Explains principles of mass spectrometry and chromatography before moving on to LC-MS
* Describes instrumental aspects of LC-MS
* Discusses current applications of LC-MS and shows benefits of using this technique in practice
