The third edition of Liquid Chromatograpy – Mass Spectrometry discusses how the technique works and how to interpret results, while covering its use for quantitative bioanalysis and characterization in a variety of disciplines. Focusing on principles, technologies and analytical strategies, it describes the impact of the technique on small-molecule and biomolecular applications such as proteomics, biochemistry, clinical analysis, environmental studies, and drug discovery, metabolism and development. An addition to the “Chromatographic Science” series, the 608-page resource assesses developments in the method, including advances in sample pretreatment and data processing. Supported by references and an index, it features new chapters and extensive revisions. Wilfried M.A. Niessen; !%CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group%!, Boca Raton, Fla., 2006; $179.95.
