Abstract:
Mass spectrometry is arguably one of the most versatile analytical techniques available to scientists today. It is used in nearly every branch of chemistry—organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical—as well as in biochemistry, biology, medicine, and materials science. Mass spectrometry is employed in both qualitative and quantitative analysis and is an essential tool in biochemical research for characterizing a wide variety of macromolecules, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and oligonucleotides. In recent years, mass spectrometry has seen spectacular advancements in technological innovation and the breadth of its applications. This chapter presents the fundamental aspects of the technique, including its basic components, principles, and analytical methods. Additionally, the chapter discusses the specific needs of biochemical analysis and how mass spectrometry addresses these requirements.
