Bøker i New Developments in Mass Spectrometry-serien

This book summarizes the recent developments of mass spectrometry techniques in microbial analysis for researchers in the field and for those who are about to enter the field.

Lipidomics is one of the emerging 'omics' techniques with growing importance in bioscience. Discussing interesting standard and non-standard techniques relevant to the measurement and analysis of lipids by mass spectrometry, this book will provide a guide to the possibilities of the techniques. It will introduce the reader to exciting new methods that allow isomer differentiation, improve sensitivity, allow spatial location and go beyond annotation of simply matching a mass to a database entry. The book is written and edited by the some of the world leaders in the field of lipid mass spectrometry and will have international appeal in industry and academia for analytical chemists, biochemists and biotechnologists. Furthermore, it will provide a useful resource for anyone interested in lipid structure characterization particularly for graduates and postgraduates who require a starting point for their projects.

This book gathers knowledge about matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging for postgraduate and professional researchers in academia and in industry where it has direct application to clinical research.

Discussing the state-of-the-art of the proposed topics in one single book for probing the polar metabolome, using relevant examples, is unique and needed in the metabolomics field.

This book is a high-level introduction, as well as a reference work for experienced users, to ECD, ETD, EDD, NETD, UVPD, SID, and other advanced fragmentation methods.

Metabolomics and proteomics allow deep insights into the chemistry and physiological processes of biological systems. This book will enable researchers, practitioners and students from different backgrounds to analyze metabolomics and proteomics mass spectrometry data.
