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 of Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry and link them to the variety of industrial applications. This state-of-the-art method remains underused due to the lack of information on how it works. 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.

Covers FT-ICR-MS and Orbitrap’s fundamentals, enhancing researcher knowledgeIncludes details on ion sources, data processing, chemical analysis and imagingProvides examples across the wide spectrum of applications, including omics, environmental, chemical, pharmaceutical and food analysis
