Mass Spectrometry Scripps
This resource from the Scripps Center for Metabolomics introduces the fundamental concepts of mass spectrometry (MS), so it is very good for beginners. It includes the most essential facts about MS that concern the principles of ionization, mass analyzers, and detectors, as well as information on the vacuum system required for MS analysis. The note gives foundational knowledge of how MS works: from the generation of ions from a sample to the separation process and on to detection. Suitable for practitioners who are just beginning a career in analytical chemistry or metabolomics, it provides an easily accessible introduction to the technology and applications in the analysis of complex molecular systems.
