Mass Spectrometry: Principles and Applications

by Edmond de Hoffmann, Vincent Stroobant

The latest edition of a highly successful textbook, Mass Spectrometry, Third Edition provides students with a complete overview of the principles, theories and key applications of modern mass spectrometry. All instrumental aspects of mass spectrometry are clearly and concisely sources, analysers and detectors. Tandem mass spectrometry is introduced early on and then developed in more detail in a later chapter. Emphasis is placed throughout the text on optimal utilisation conditions. Various fragmentation patterns are described together with analytical information that derives from the mass spectra. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and has been redesigned to give the book a more contemporary look. As with previous editions it contains numerous examples, references and a series of exercises of increasing difficulty to encourage student understanding. Updates Increased coverage of MALDI and ESI, more detailed description of time of flight spectrometers, new material on isotope ratio mass spectrometry, and an expanded range of applications. Mass Spectrometry, Third Edition is an invaluable resource for all undergraduate and postgraduate students using this technique in departments of chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacology, agriculture, material science and food science. It is also of interest for researchers looking for an overview of the latest techniques and developments.

Wasn't a huge fan of this book, although it was decent. It explains different types of MS fairly well but to my own liking, it talked too much about stuff that isn't very important.
I'm just a student so I'm not an expert at all but I feel like this book took to long explaining unnecessary stuff and not enough time explaining concepts.
Nevertheless, I flew through it by nice writing. As a student I also appreciated the exercises with answers at the end!
