High Resolution Mass Spectrometry And Its Diverse Applications

"This informative book offers a wide range of knowledge on the technologies and applications of the cutting-edge field of high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) in different areas of analysis. HRMS has changed the nature of experimentation and investigation in so many analytical realms. Determining exact mass determination, high resolution, and specificity-via the special features provided by HRMS instruments-is now possible for determining the composition of the analyte of interest, both qualitatively and quantitatively. High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry and Its Diverse Applications: Cutting-Edge Techniques and Instrumentation begins with an overview of the basic instrumentation techniques and goes on to present research on diverse new uses of HRMS in clinical testing, such as for therapeutic drug designing, discovery, and development; in forensic studies and investigations; in quality management systems; for analysis of pesticides; for analysis of single cells; in analysis of fossil fuels; for use in space and planetary science; and more. Chapters relay how HRMS plays an important role in the structure elucidation and unknown determination in many fields and is a great measure to be used for quantitative analyses. The book considers how these properties make the technique a strong aid in many areas. This volume highlights how HRMS can be a useful tool for scientists and researchers, faculty and students, and industry professionals in many scientific areas of study"--
