Infos

This book provides a serious introduction to the subject of mass
spectrometry, providing the reader with the tools and information
to be well prepared to perform such demanding work in a real-life
laboratory. This essential tool bridges several subjects and many
disciplines including pharmaceutical, environmental and biomedical
analysis that are utilizing mass spectrometry:

* Covers all aspects of the use of mass spectrometry for
quantitation purposes

* Written in textbook style to facilitate understanding of this
topic

* Presents fundamentals and real-world examples in a
'learning-though-doing' style

Autor

Professor Robert K Boyd, National Research Council, Institute for National Measurement Standards, Ottawa, Canada Robert Boyd obtained his B Sc and Ph D from St Andrews University. In 1962 he took a post-doctoral fellow position at NRC followed by periods at the University of Toronto & University of Guelph. In 1986 he re-joined the NRC, and since that time has served as adjunct professor at Dalhousie University (1992-2001). Since 2001 he has been Researcher Emeritus at the NRC in Ottawa. Professor Boyd has published over 160 research papers, four book chapters & 10 NRC Technical reports. In 1002 he received the Maxxam Award for Analytical Chemistry and in 2003 the Queen Elizabeth II Gold Jubilee Medal. He is currently Chair of the Science Advisory Board for the Genome Prarie project on enabling technologies for proteomics. And a member of the NSERC Committee for Scientific & Technical review of ISTC proposals. He was an editor for Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry from 1990 - 1997 and from 1997 - 2005 was the journal's Editor-in-Chief. Dr Robert A Bethem, senior VP of the Bioanalytical Group at Alta Analytical Laboratory, CA, USA and Professor Dwight Matthews of the University of Vermont, USA

Rezensionen

"This work, well documented and easy to read, will without doubt
delight teachers and researchers in analytical chemistry,
permitting them to choose apparatus best suited to their analytical
problems, to understand how to use them, and finally to put them to
work in developing and validating quantitative methods in thev
laboratory." (l'actualité chimique, October 2010)"There are
many textbooks on the general principles and applications of mass
spectrometry, but none of them cover these topics in such detail as
the present book. ... A valuable contribution to the mass
spectrometry textbooks that are currently available, and is useful
for both the neophyte and the specialist." (Analytical and
Bioanalytical Chemistry, July 2009)

"I highly recommend this book ... to all those readers of
this journal involved in quantitative analysis ... Boyd, Basic,
and Bethem provided us with a wealth of easy accessible information
on this subject." (Journal of Statistical Software, January
2009)

"Trace Quantitative Analysis by Mass Spectrometry is a
wonderful book for beginner and intermediate students, analysts,
and scientists keen on learning more about mass spectrometry. The
authors' discussion of history and the evolution of relevant
science make the text lively and engaging, no small achievement for
a book about analytical science." (PharmTech.com, December
