Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry

The Second Edition of Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry serves as an indispensible resource for those learning and practicing GC/ MS. While retaining the original goals of brevity and accessibility, the authors have expanded the science and techniques to include those that have emerged since the publication of the previous edition. Throughout the book, quick references to data interpretation facilitate the extraction of information from GC/MS data. Enhancements to the Second Edition include: -Added coverage of chromatographic peak deconvolution and in-depth discussion of the use of mass spectral databases in the identification of unknowns. -Advancements in GC inlet systems and sample introduction techniques. -Incorporation of fast GC and options for combining GC detectors with mass spectrometry. -Increased emphasis on mass spectral interpretation.
