E-Book Overview
Providing a theoretical background for inorganic mass spectrometry, this text describes classical applications of four modern mass spectrometers - magnetic sector, quadrupole, time-of-flight, and ion trap - and illustrates how they have impacted elemental and isotopic analysis. The book features examples that concentrate on routine and non-routine applications of inorganic analysis techniques.

The aim of this book is twofold: to introduce the topic of inorganic mass spectrometry to the nonpractitioner of the technique and to familiarize those conversant with it with recent developments in some of the foremost laboratories in the world. The book should be of value to industry, academia, and government laboratory staff and should appeal to both national and i n t e ~ a t i o naudiences. ~ It is written so that a college senior majoring in the sciences can follow the discussion but has enough technical sophistication to keep it the benchmark for books in thi
