Plasma Source Mass Spectrometry: Rsc

By Grenville Holland

The birth and consequent development of an exciting and versatile analytical technique will always arouse international interest. Plasma source mass spectrometry is one such technique, and this unique book offers the first in-depth description of the design and operation of reaction cells for ICP-MS. Acting as a reference for the development of analytical methods in a number of diverse applications, Plasma Source Mass Spectrometry: New Developments and Applications covers subjects including the dynamics of the plasma resulting from the introduction of aerosol droplets; the theory and operation of reaction and collision cells; ion transport through the ion optics; hyphenation methods; and the results of analyses, including that of paleoanthropological samples and platinum group elements in the environment. Fully referenced and with much of the material having not yet appeared in open literature, the breadth of coverage and international flavour of the contents will make this book essential reading for academics and industrialists alike, particularly those in the fields of analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy.
