Handbook of basic mass spectrometry for biologists and medical technologists: What you really need to know to get started

Mass spectrometers exclusively belonged to the realms of physics and chemistry for nearly half a century. Recent advances in technology have brought them to the doors of nearly every biology research lab in the world, and they are beginning to appear in select clinical labs across the country. This guide intends to cut through the decades of accumulated jargon to get to what you really know about the instrument they just installed down the hall.
