Massenspektrometrie - Spektroskopiekurs kompakt

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine leicht verständliche Einführung in die Massenspektrometrie (MS). Kurz und präzise, strukturiert und gut zu lesen werden die Grundlagen dieses Analyseverfahrens vermittelt. Vom Prinzip der Massenspektrometrie führt das Buch über die Masse der Atome und ihrer Isotope zum Verständnis von Isotopenmustern, Hochauflösung und exakter Masse. Es behandelt den Ionisationsprozess ebenso wie Fragmentierungsreaktionen und liefert einen Einstieg in die Spektreninterpretation. Es gibt Überblick über wichtige Ionisations­methoden und Massenanalysatoren sowie das Konzept der Tandem-MS. Ein Kapitel zur Chromatographie-MS-Kopplung, weiterführende Literatur und hilfreiche Websites runden das Buch ab.

Das kompakte Lehrbuch ist gedacht für:

• Studierende in den Bachelor-Studiengängen Chemie, Biochemie, Chemische Technologie oder Lebensmittelchemie
• Studierende mit Zweitfach Chemie
• Angehende Laboranten sowie Quereinsteiger, die sich schnell in die Grundlagen einarbeiten möchten

Mass Spectrometry - A Textbook, 3rd Edition

This third edition of the highly successful textbook, acclaimed for its comprehensiveness, accuracy, and excellent illustrations and photographs with updated coverage plus numerous didactical improvements:

• The number of figures has notably increased, with about one third of them now presented in color.
• More photographs and schematics make it easier to understand and provide valuable insights into the practical aspects of instrumentation and procedures.
• Flow charts describe procedures and approaches to mass spectral interpretation and aid in decision making.
• Bulleted enumerations offer a quick overview wherever several features, arguments, assumptions, or properties of a subject call for clear presentation.
• Examples and notes now come with a short subheading that immediately conveys what this section is about. More examples, especially of methods and applications are given and some how-to-style paragraphs provide practical guidance.
• Each chapter ends with a concise summary that is subdivided into compact sections highlighting the basics of the subject, its figures of merit, typical applications, and its role in current mass spectromety. In the case of instrumentation (chapter 4), there are even summaries covering mass analyzers type by type.
• Digital object identifiers (DOIs) are now included to facilitate retrieval of references.
• All of this is presented in a new, attractive layout.
• The book’s website www.ms-textbook.com provides exercises and lots of supplementary material for download.

Massenspektrometrie - Ein Lehrbuch

Mit Massenspektrometrie – ein Lehrbuch liegt ein Werk vor, das mit seiner umfassenden, präzisen Darstellung sowie seinen vielen gelungenen Illustrationen und Fotos eine Lücke auf dem deutschsprachigen Markt schließt.

Dieses in seiner englischen Ausgabe (s.u.) gut etablierte Buch führt auf grundlegende Weise an die Massenspektrometrie heran, indem es die Prinzipien, Methoden und Anwendungen logisch aufeinander aufbauend erklärt. Schritt für Schritt lernt der Leser, was diese analytische Methode leisten kann, auf welch vielfältige Art Massenspektrometer isolierte Ionen in der Gasphase erzeugen, selektieren und manipulieren können und wie man aus den resultierenden Massenspektren analytische Information gewinnt. Moderne sanfte Ionisationsmethoden wie ESI, APCI oder MALDI, klassische Verfahren wie EI, CI, FAB oder FD, Oberflächentechniken wie DESI oder DART und elementmassenspektrometrische Verfahren werden didaktisch durchdacht behandelt. Studienanfänger werden von dem Werk ebenso profitieren wie Fortgeschrittene und Praktiker.

Mass Spectrometry - A Textbook, 2nd Edition

Expanded by more than 200 pages. No chapter has remained untouched. Numerous passages have been rewritten to improve the clarity of explanations while keeping them short and concise. Care has been taken not only to explain how, but also to why things are done a certain way. Several schemes have been added to clarify interrelationships between different techniques.

The book now comprises fifteen instead of twelve chapters, each of them headed by essential “Learning Objectives”.
Chapter 9 on tandem mass spectrometry is inserted to introduce methods of ion activation such as CID, ECD, ETD, and IRMPD closely related to the instrumental approaches to tandem MS.
A second additional chapter deals with ambient MS, i.e., sampling and ion generation from surfaces under ambient conditions as afforded by DART and DESI, to name the most relevant methods.
Finally, a new chapter on inorganic mass spectrometry has been added, for one, to include element speciation that bridges the gap between biomedical and trace elemental analysis.
The chapter on instrumentation has been significantly expanded to cover orbitrap, linear ion traps, TOF/TOF, FT-ICR, and the ever-changing hybrid instruments including IMS-MS systems.
More detailed attention is drawn to applications regarding biopolymers, especially in those chapters dealing with MALDI and ESI.
