What People are Saying About This
"This work, well documented and easy to read, will without doubt delight teachers and researchers in analytical chemistry, permitting them to choose apparatus best suited to their analytical problems, to understand how to use them, and finally to put them to work in developing and validating quantitative methods in thev laboratory." (l'actualité chimique, October 2010)"There are many textbooks on the general principles and applications of mass spectrometry, but none of them cover these topics in such detail as the present book. … A valuable contribution to the mass spectrometry textbooks that are currently available, and is useful for both the neophyte and the specialist." (Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, July 2009)
"I highly recommend this book … to all those readers of this journal involved in quantitative analysis … Boyd, Basic, and Bethem provided us with a wealth of easy accessible information on this subject." (Journal of Statistical Software, January 2009)
"Trace Quantitative Analysis by Mass Spectrometry is a wonderful book for beginner and intermediate students, analysts, and scientists keen on learning more about mass spectrometry. The authors' discussion of history and the evolution of relevant science make the text lively and engaging, no small achievement for a book about analytical science." (PharmTech.com, December 2, 2008)
