Mass Spectrometry IMM
In mass spectrometry, one generates ions from a sample to be analyzed. These ions are then separated and quantitatively detected. The units covered in this notes are as follows : Introduction, Charge Location and Fragmentation, Ion Separation, Ionization and Desorption, Biomolecules, Literature, Sources.
