A volume that covers different techniques in mass spectrometry from the well established and now routinely used, such as electron impact and thermal ionization, to inductively coupled plasma IRMS, and also more specialized and less frequently used ones such as gas chromatography, spark source, fast atom bombardment, secondary ion and laser ablation IRMS. The bulk of the book is an element by element review, with the emphasis on techniques and instrumentation. This section is broken down into 94 elements and examples are used from all disciplines. The multi-disciplinary nature of the subject...
