Mass Spectrometry: Principles and Applications

Very descriptive, very thorough survey of mass spectrometry science and instrument types. Scientific principles of ion sources, mass analyzers, and output spectra are well illustrated and supplied with chemical equations. The book also has sections on biological macromolecule analysis, and a brief chapter on analyzing spectra output. It also has a section on multiple reaction monitoring for tandem mass spec.This is an excellent go-to-book for getting background information before approaching a problem. I used this book frequently while writing a lengthy thesis/report for my Master's degree, during a HPLC-MS technician internship, and I still to use it today.The writing is concise and descriptive, though at least an undergraduate background in physics and chemistry is necessary to get the full value of the book.I highly recommend this book for undergraduate and graduate students, and for professional review.

Given as a gift.

This book sets great principles for the applications of mass spectrometry. My professor uses it for the bases of his lectures and then adds on what ever he thinks is necessary for a discussion. Good basic principles of mass spectrometry. Nothing in too much of detail but good enough for a basic understanding.

Although the buying information indicated that this book was used, I believe that it was brand new! It is in absolutely wonderful condition. The book itself is great, too, but, being translated from French, there are definitely some interesting phrases to say the least

This book is great for anyone in the Mass Spec field. The text quickly, yet thoroughly identifies the most important pieces of information required for understanding and provides the means by which to continue investigation. Highly Recommended.

This is a good quick-reference book for mass spectrometry if you want some information available on your shelf without always having to look up in the literature. I do wish, though, that the book contained more information about interpretation of fragmentation peaks.

Good overall summary for me. I work with mass spectrometers but I am an electrical engineer, not a chemist.

Great book. Would buy again

Great book for anyone insterested in MS.

I love this book. It is well written and contains majority of mass spectrometry principles.It is useful for beginners as well as for advanced users of this tehcnique.

Essendo uno studioso di spettrometria di massa in quanto mi sto laureando con una tesi sperimentale che utilizza questa tecnica, ho trovato questo libro molto pratico e allo stesso tempo approfondito. E' molto molto chiaro. Lo consiglio sia ai neofiti che agli esperti.

Contain lots of information for beginners in mass spectrometry. The book is very well written and thus easy to understand.I bought it as a reference book and I think I made the right choice.
