Bioseparation

This new edition presents a simple mass spectrum, describes how mass spectral information can be presented and interpreted, then looks at how ion sources produce different fragmentation patterns and discusses methods of ion detection and computer-aided data processing. Includes tandem techniques as well as a discussion of the rapidly growing area of atomic mass spectronomy. Some of the topics addressed are: methods of ionization, the use of isotopes in mass spectrometry, fragmentation patterns of common functional groups, metastable ions and modes of fragmentation, and inorganic mass spectrometry.
