Sector Field Mass Spectrometry for Elemental and Isotopic Analysis New Developments in Mass Spectrometry (hb 2015)

In the last 15 years more than 5000 research articles related to sector field instruments for elemental analysis have been published, demonstrating that this community is well-established and successful. This unique book focuses on the development of sector field mass spectrometers equipped with plasma (ICP or GD) sources, the instrumentation and applications in the field. Including a review of the peculiarities and performance of the instrumentation, the researcher will find this an invaluable current source of reference and discussion of the future trends. The book is written by worldwide renowned experts who have pioneered magnetic sector field spectrometry for inorganic analysis. Inter- and trans-disciplinary in nature, it will appeal to analytical chemists, geologists, environmentalists and instrument manufacturers.
