General Mass Spectroscopy Literature



BOOKS
Interpretation of Mass Spectra McLafferty, F. W.; Turecek, F.; 4th ed.; University Science Books, Mill Valley, California, 1993.
Probably the best book on the market right now.

Mass Spectroscopy Duckworth, H. E.; Barber, R. C.; Venkatasubramanian, V. S.; 2. ed.; Cambridge University Press, New York, 1990.
Excellent detail especially in the description of devices. Probably too much for Chem416 but a superb reference.

Mass Spectrometry in the Biological Sciences: A Tutorial. Gross, M. L.; Ed.; Nato Advanced Science Institutes Series C: Mathematical and Physical Sciences 353, Kluwer Academic Publisher, 1992.
Excellent introduction into the topic with many references.

Biochemical and Biotechnological Applications of Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectroscopy A. P. Snyder, Ed.; ACS Symposium Series 619, Washington, D. C., 1995.
Everything about electrospray techniques written by the people who pioneered the technique and its application.
