Sample Chapters
In its 2nd edition the book has been expanded by more than 200 pages. No chapter has remained untouched. Numerous passages have been rewritten to improve the clarity of explanations while keeping them short and concise. Care has been taken not only to explain how, but also to why things are done a certain way. Several schemes have been added to clarify interrelationships between different techniques.
- The book now comprises fifteen instead of twelve chapters, each of them headed by essential “Learning Objectives”.
- Chapter 9 on tandem mass spectrometry has been inserted to introduce methods of ion activation such as CID, ECD, ETD, and IRMPD closely related to the instrumental approaches to tandem MS.
- Chapter 13 has been added to deal with ambient MS, i.e., sampling and ion generation from surfaces under ambient conditions as afforded by DART and DESI.
- Chapter 15 on inorganic mass spectrometry has been added to include element speciation that bridges the gap between biomedical and trace elemental analysis.
- Chapter 4 on instrumentation has been significantly expanded to cover orbitrap, linear ion traps, TOF/TOF, FT-ICR, and the ever-changing hybrid instruments including IMS-MS systems.
- More attention is drawn to applications regarding biopolymers, especially in those chapters dealing with MALDI and ESI.
- Tables compiling data for general reference where transferred to the expanded appendix.
