Knowing that the potential for miniature mass spectrometry (MS) systems is considerable, the highly qualified authors of this book provide an overview of aspects of the technology and instruments, as well as their applications in fields such as medical diagnostics and pharmaceutical research.
The book starts by describing the scope of miniature mass spectrometry, informing readers why mass spectrometers should be miniaturized and the key elements in developing integrated system for applying MS outside traditional analytical labs. It then goes on to cover the technical development of MS miniaturization, from the mass analyser to ambient sampling ionization, details integrated systems and various fields of application. The final chapter features current exemplary miniature mass spectrometer systems available through commercial or research activities.
Intended for readers interested in miniature MS and related technology and analytical applications of mass spectrometry, which might include developers and funders of these instruments, this book can be used as supplementary reading material for undergraduate and graduate students, and help professional researchers understand the history and the future development of the field.
