| Abstract: |
Mass spectrometry is arguably one of the most versatile analytical techniques available to scientists today. It finds application in almost every branch of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical and analytical), as well as in biochemistry, biology, medicine and materials science. The technique of mass spectrometry is used in both qualitative and quantitative analysis. It is an essential analytical tool in biochemical research and can be used to characterize a wide variety of macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and oligonucleotides. In recent years, there has been a spectacular development in mass spectrometry in terms of its technological innovation and the extent of its applications. This chapter presents the basic elements of the technique, its basic organology, as well as the basic principles and techniques of analysis using mass spectrometry. Reference is also made to the needs of biochemical analysis and how these are covered by mass spectrometry.
