The HPLC-MS Handbook for Practitioners

Filling the gap for an expert text dealing exclusively with the practical aspects of HPLC-MS coupling, this concise, compact, and clear book provides detailed information to enable users to employ the method most efficiently.

Following an overview of the current state of HPLC-MS and its instrumentation, the text goes on to discuss all relevant aspects of method development. A chapter on tips and tricks is followed by user reports on the advantages – and pitfalls – of applying the method in real-life scenarios. The whole is rounded off by a look at future developments by renowned manufacturers.
