This book was triggered by the success story of sector field mass spectrometry in elemental and isotopic analysis from the early days when the first mass spectrum of Ne was presented a hundred years ago. The outstanding and unique features of sector field mass spectrometry – high sensitivity, high mass resolution and simultaneous multiple ion detection – paved the way for its successful and increasing application in different fields of science.
Written, compiled and edited by worldwide renowned experts with profound expertise in sector field mass spectrometry related to elemental and isotopic analysis, this book is intended to provide deep insight into the topic along with fundamental knowledge about elemental and isotopic analysis. Aimed at scientists in the field of natural and life sciences, instrument manufacturers, practitioners and graduate students, this book provides solid information about the methodological background and analytical capabilities of sector field mass spectrometry.
A detailed description of peculiarities and an overview of the most relevant applications making use of specific techniques using sector field mass analysers (ICP-MS, GDMS, TIMS, SIMS and IRMS) are given, including a presentation of the currently available commercial instruments. This approach guarantees that readers are thoroughly introduced to and familiarized with the fascinating inter- and transdisciplinary field of sector field mass spectrometry.

Про автора
Norbert Jakubowski is presently head of the division Inorganic Analysis at the BAM – Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin, Germany. He studied plasma-physics at the University of Essen/Duisburg and received his Ph D at the University of Stuttgart Hohenheim with summa cum laude in 1991. He started his scientific career at the Institute for Analytical Sciences in Dortmund. In 2013 he received the “European Award for Plasma Spectrochemistry” for his contribution in elemental mass spectrometry. His research interests are related to Analytical Chemistry in general with special interest in development of instruments, methods and problem-orientated procedures based on the use of plasma sources (inductively coupled plasma, glow discharge) for elemental mass spectrometry of solid and liquid samples. Recently he started a new research direction towards labelling of biomolecules with metals by use of chelating compounds for detection of biomarkers in clinical research. “Single cells are the most fascinating machineries on earth and it is my challenge for the rest of my career to make life processes visible”.
