Field desorption mass spectrometry. A microanalytical tool for environmental research, biochemistry, and medicine

  • Published:
Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Field desorption mass spectrometry is a new and versatile technique which expands the range of applicability of mass spectrometry to include highly polar and thermally labile compounds. The simplicity of the FD mass spectra of organic compounds, containing in each case an intense signal for the intact ionized or cationized molecule is the basis for the applicability of the technique to analytical problems in environmental, biochemical, and biomedical research.

Zusammenfassung

Das Prinzip der Felddesorptions-Massenspektrometrie und der gegenwärtige Stand der experimentellen Technik wurden beschrieben. Die Anwendungen des Verfahrens zur qualitativen und quantitativen Analyse in Umweltforschung, Biochemie und Medizin wurden anhand charakteristischer Beispiele vorgestellt und erläutert.
