Mass spectrometry basics [electronic resource] / Christopher G. Herbert, Robert A.W. Johnstone.

Mass Spectrometry Basics provides authoritative yet plain-spoken explanations of the basic concepts of this powerful analytical method without elaborate mathematical derivations. The authors describe processes, applications, and the underlying science in a concise manner supported by figures and gra...
