Over the past few years, time-of-flight (ToF) and Orbitrap MS have both experienced tremendous growth in a great number of analytical sectors and are now well established in many laboratories where high requirements are placed on analytical performance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book gives a head-to-head comparison of these two technologies that compete directly with each other. As users with hands-on experience in both techniques, the authors provide a balanced description of the strengths and weaknesses of both techniques. In the vast majority of cases, ToF-MS and Orbitrap-MS have been used for qualitative purposes, mainly identification of discrete molecular entities such as drug metabolites or transformation products of environmental contaminants. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis paradigm is now changing as quantitative capabilities are increasingly being explored, as are non-target approaches for unbiased broad-scope screening. In view of the continuous innovation of high-resolution MS instrument manufacturers in designing and developing more powerful machines, technological advances in both hardware and software are considerable, with many novel applications. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book summarizes and analyzes these trends. The compilation of selected examples from diverse analytical fields will allow the readers to discover not only the potential of high-resolution MS in their sector, but also shows advances in other fields that rely on hi-res MS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides comprehensive coverage of applications of time-of-flight and orbitrap mass spectrometry in environmental, food, doping, and forensic analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores a variety of specialized techniques, giving a balanced description of the strengths and weaknesses of each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents a general overview of imaging techniques within analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155585548528,"sku":"9780444635730","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780444635730_p0.jpg?v=1763702569","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780444635730","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
