Short description Fundamentals of Contemporary Mass Spectrometry deftly explains mass spectrometry instrumentation and its application to analysis and identification of organic compounds, biological material, and inorganic compounds, as well as applications to quantitative analysis. The book is ideal for use as a textbook for graduate courses and is also a great reference for newcomers to mass spectrometry.
