Guodong Chen 
Characterization of Impurities and Degradants Using Mass Spectrometry [PDF ebook] 

The book highlights the current practices and future trends in
structural characterization of impurities and degradants. It begins
with an overview of mass spectrometry techniques as related to the
analysis of impurities and degradants, followed by studies
involving characterization of process related impurities (including
potential genotoxic impurities), and excipient related impurities
in formulated products. Both general practitioners in
pharmaceutical research and specialists in analytical chemistry
field will benefit from this book that will detail step-by-step
approaches and new strategies to solve challenging problems related
to pharmaceutical research.
