Elementary Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry started as a basic mass measurement tool but has evolved into a versatile technique with vast applications, including isolation, separation, identification, synthesis, and kinetics. It's simple, reliable, and cost-effective. To fully benefit, a deep understanding is key for its frequent use in science. My book simplifies this with practical examples from my work, starting with spectra and fragmentation schemes to highlight its utility, making it engaging and inspiring. It covers spectrometry basics in detail: mass-to-charge principles, electric and magnetic fields, and high-resolution mass analysis with examples. Spectra, fragmentation, and rules like the nitrogen rule and neutral losses are explained, showing how they reveal molecular weight and structure. Practical cases of mass determination and identification are included. Written simply, with diagrams and rules, it's ideal for students and researchers. Mass spectrometry is essential today for scientific comprehension and research.
