{"product_id":"essentials-of-lc-ms","title":"Essentials of LC-MS","description":"Imagine having the ability to unmask the invisible molecules that dictate human health, drive medical breakthroughs, and control the safety of our food and environment. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is the analytical superpower that makes this possible. Far from being just an abstract laboratory routine, LC-MS acts as a molecular scale and high-speed sorting machine combined, allowing scientists to identify complex proteins and detect molecular mass of the trace substances. No other analytical method provides the molecular mass of an unknown compound. This book demystifies this state-of-the-art technology, transforming an intricate scientific discipline into an accessible, captivating journey for anyone curious about how LC-MS evolved and become the essential tool in analytical chemistry. Essentials of LC-MS provides a comprehensive, systematic guide to the foundational principles and practical applications of hyphenated analytical techniques. The text thoroughly explores the mechanics of high-performance liquid chromatography separation alongside the fundamentals of mass spectrometry, including ionization sources (such as ESI and APCI), mass analyzers (including Orbitrap, Q-TOF, and triple quadrupoles), and data acquisition strategies. Tailored for researchers, students, and industry professionals, the book details step-by-step methods for biomolecular characterization, complex sample preparation, and analytical method development. The book is written in a way to give beginners a clear, tactical guide to navigating their instruments, mastering data, and confidently launching their own analytical expeditions.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58639407513935,"sku":"9781041457336","price":357.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/essentials-of-lc-ms","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
