Book description
Due to its enormous sensitivity and ease of use, mass spectrometry has
grown into the analytical tool of choice in most industries and areas of
research. This unique reference provides an extensive library of methods
used in mass spectrometry, covering applications of mass spectrometry in
fields as diverse as drug discovery, environmental science, forensic
science, clinical analysis, polymers, oil composition, doping, cellular
research, semiconductor, ceramics, metals and alloys, and homeland
security. The book provides the reader with a protocol for the technique
described (including sampling methods) and explains why to use a
particular method and not others. Essential for MS specialists working
in industrial, environmental, and clinical fields.
Mike S. Lee is President of Milestone Development Services
where he consults and develops workshops and symposia to support
industry with innovative technologies and solutions. His research
interests include the application of mass spectrometry for the
analysis of proteins, natural products, drug metabolites, impurities,
and degradants. Recently, he has been involved in the development of
automated orthogonal control systems for electrospray ionization and
the development of digital separation devices for sampling,
separation, and enrichment.
