Designed specifically for novice users of mass spectronomy, an audience that is not currently well-addressed by existing texts, this book covers the basic concepts, instruments, and techniques with case illustrating its application in problem solving. Other books in this field focus too narrowly on instrumentation without discussing practical application, or present the information in dense discussions and tables, making the information hard to find. This book does neither, it provides practical advice and key background knowledge in a format that is easy to use.
