Handbook of GC-MS: Fundamentals and Applications

Front Cover
John Wiley & Sons, Jul 27, 2015 - Science - 880 pages
The only comprehensive reference on this popular and rapidly developing technique provides a detailed overview, ranging from fundamentals to applications, including a section on the evaluation of GC-MS analyses.
As such, it covers all aspects, including the theory and principles, as well as a broad range of real-life examples taken from laboratories in environmental, food, pharmaceutical and clinical analysis. It also features a glossary of approximately 300 terms and a substance index that facilitates finding a specific application.
The first two editions were very well received, making this handbook a must-have in all analytical laboratories using GC-MS.
