This video, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, describes the instrumentation for accelerator mass spectrometry and its applications. The video describes the instrumentation and its application for carbon dating and measurements of […]
This website provides resources that can aid in the assigning NMR proton shifts, IR peaks and mass loss in mass spectrometry. The original site is in German, but most (but not all) […]
This website part of a larger project “ChemGuide” provides a nice introduction to mass spectrometry that is suitable for use by introductory analytical chemistry students. Content includes an introduction to the instrumentation, […]
This website developed by Waters Corporation provides a brief primer on mass spectrometry which includes information on instrumentation, a discussion of mass accuracy, resolution, and LC-MS. As such the site should be […]
This site contains a good review of GC detectors that is linked to animated files describing the hardware and principles of operation for GC/MS. From this site, links are available to other […]
The website presents a case study involving the detection of cocaine on dollar bills. The case study uses GC-MS, but has an introduction appropriate for beginning chemistry students.The website is available here […]
This C and E News cover story from July 2005 introduces readers to the concept of quality control in food analysis for food safety with an emphasis on the application of near-infrared […]
This site is a very thorough page by page description about what mass spectometry is and how it is used. It has many useful figures and references to other materials. The site […]
This website contains a wealth of information about mass spectrometry for bioanalysis and related subject material for biotechnology. There are four significant components: The Card Index, Featured IonSource Tutorials and Contributions, Resources, […]
This site focuses on mass accuracy and resolution. Examples are presented illustrating the difference between the average and monoisotopic masses.The website is available here .
This site is a tutorial on interpretation of electrospray mass spectra of multiply charged molecules. It provides a simple explanation of the electrospray process and the potential for the creation of multiply […]
