Atomic spectrometry has exciting new bio-analytical horizons open
to it, principally through the developments in the capabilities of
ICP-MS coupled with the inventiveness of experimentalists. This is
reflected in the use of the technique for ion-, capillary
electrophoresis-, liquid- and gas-chromatographic separation in
biological applications, as reported in this book. Traditional
(environmental, semiconductor, geological and clinical)
applications are also well represented. In addition, recent and
future developments in sample introduction devices, multicollector
sector, reaction cells and collision cells instruments, as well as
co-existence, divergence and potential convergence of atomic and
biomolecular mass spectrometries are discussed. Reflecting the
current state of practical ICP-MS and drawing together the latest
developments in the field, Plasma Source Mass Spectrometry: Current
Trends and Future Developments is ideal for university researchers
and laboratory practitioners. It will be of interest to all those
involved in the development and application of this technique.
This book provides a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art of
the understanding of the fundamentals of ICPMS, instrumental
development, methods development, spectral interpretation and
applications. It covers a diverse range of topics including:
bioanalytical applications (immunoassay, state of phosphorylation,
metallo-drugs); environmental applications (drinking water,
groundwater, seawater, speciation); reaction cells and collision
cells (theory and applications); archaeology; laser ablation;
isotope ratio analysis; and the performance, characterization and
applications of multicollector instruments. Written by
international contributors who emphasize their current perceptions
and understanding of the subject, Plasma Source Mass Spectrometry:
Applications and Emerging Technologies offers a current perspective
on elemental analysis by plasma source mass spectrometry that is
not to be found elsewhere. Researchers and professionals in many
areas will welcome this book, particularly those in the fields of
bioanalytical, environmental and geological chemistry.
The understanding of the principles of ICP-MS and its application
as an analytical technique is continually evolving and this book
provides a unique snapshot of the current state-of-the-art. Plasma
Source Mass Spectrometry: The New Millennium covers a diverse range
of topics including the fate of the sample as it passes through the
sample introduction system, chemical resolution using reaction and
collision cells, various methods of mass analysis, approaches to
account for spectral interferences, hyphenation methods to enable
speciation, and the results of analyses ranging from natural waters
and archaeological isotope ratios to organometallic speciation in
biological materials. Describing explicitly the analytical methods
that deal with current analytical challenges, and offering a
current perspective on elemental analysis by plasma source mass
spectrometry that is not to be found elsewhere, this book will be
welcomed by both academics and industrialists as containing the
most up-to-date information available on this burgeoning topic.
