Product Description
Updated and expanded, the classic guide to GC/MS helps
chromatographers quickly learn to use this technique for analyzing and
identifying compounds. After explaining the fundamentals, it discusses
optimizing, tuning, using, and maintaining GC/MS equipment; explores
advances in miniaturized and field-portable GC/MS systems and
microfluidic components; and more. Complete with a CD-ROM, it covers
applications in the environmental laboratory and in forensics,
toxicology, and space science. This is the premier resource for
professionals in those fields and for students.
From the Publisher
Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is a highly popular
analytical system used by organic chemists and analytical chemists in
research and in professional analytical labs, including environmental
labs. It is used to separate, identify, and quantify individual
compounds and substances. Chromatography was used to identify the
ingredients of the World Trade Center bomb and was one the main reasons
for the quick arrest of the suspects. This book provides information on
using, maintaining, and troubleshooting analytical instrument systems in
operations laboratories. It contains practical tips based on actual
experience, and only enough theory to show the operational variables and
how to control them. Readers will gain an understanding of the
components in their systems and get them up and running more rapidly.
