Fundamentals and Applications of Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry

Fundamentals and Applications of Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry is the first book to delve into the underlying principles on the topic and their linkage to industrial applications. Drs. Schmitt-Kopplin and Kanawati have brought together a team of leading experts in their respective fields to present this technique from many different perspectives, describing, at length, the pros and cons of FT-ICR and Orbitrap. Numerous examples help researchers decide which instruments to use for their particular scientific problem and which data analysis methods should be applied to get the most out of their data.

"Apart from this book that, at its time, provided a well-balanced introduction and state-of-the-art overview, there are only books containing single chapters on FT-ICR-MS or Orbitrap-MS. Overall, this book deserves a place on the bookshelves not only of academic libraries but even more so in MS laboratories using FT-based instrumentation. This review rates it at four of five stars."—Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry

"Basically, this monograph is well-structured and the assignment of the chapters into Sections A to C provides orientation for the reader. Generally, the authors have taken great care to provide well prepared and informative chapters each contributing to the whole package offered by this book." —Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
