"This second, thoroughly revised, updated and enlarged edition provides a straightforward introduction to spectroscopy, showing what it can do and how it does it, together with a clear, integrated and objective account of the wealth of information that may be derived from spectra. It also features new chapters on spectroscopy in nano-dimensions, nano-optics, and polymer analysis. Clearly structured into sixteen sections, this Handbook covers everything from spectroscopy in nanodimensions to medicinal applications, spanning a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum and the physical processes involved, from nuclear phenomena to molecular rotation processes. In addition, data tables provide a comparison of different methods in a standardized form, allowing readers to save valuable time in the decision process by avoiding wrong turns, and also help in selecting the instrumentation and performing the experiments."

"Since 1949, Analytical Chemistry has published annual reviews. We believe that the publication of authoritative and critical reviews stimulates the dynamic growth of measurement science, and we offer these reviews as a service in support of the professional activities of our readers. Historically, the reviews have offered comprehensive coverage of core areas in the field. However, effective electronic search engines now offer year round access to relevant references and comprehensive literature searches. Consequently, 3 years ago we began to invite and publish critical reviews that address selected cutting edge areas. This year our publisher, the American Chemical Society, is making Analytical Chemistry’s special review issue (January 7, 2014) freely available to the public, accessible to readers without subscriptions."

Books

"Written by the founders of the SPARK program at Stanford University, this book is a practical guide designed for professors, students and clinicians at academic research institutions who are interested in learning more about the drug development process and how to help their discoveries become the novel drugs of the future. Often many potentially transformative basic science discoveries are not pursued because they are deemed "too early" to attract industry interest. There are simple, relatively cost-effective things that academic researchers can do to advance their findings to the point that they can be tested in the clinic or attract more industry interest."

Selected textbooks

This book emphasizes the point that the most important part of learning how to interpret unknown mass spectra is to practice interpreting mass spectra. The book aims at correlating ion dissociation mecanisms on a much broader scale, with the emphasis on basic attributes such as ionization energies, proton affinities and bond dissociation energies. The authors also tried to show how these mechanisms are applicable to the unimolecular dissociations of ions formed by any ionization method, including the new methods for obtaining mass spectra of large molecules.

Stanford Labs

The Vincent Coates Foundation Mass Spectrometry Laboratory is a mass spectrometry & proteomics facility as a shared core resource. It is a Bio-X core facility and is also partially supported as the Proteomics Shared Resource of the Stanford Cancer Center. Beyond making available state-of-the-art, user-friendly facilities and services, the laboratory enables education, methods development, and new applications development, designed to meet the rapidly evolving needs of researchers. Due to the essential information that mass spectrometry provides to researchers in the fields of the physical and life sciences, medicine, and engineering, the laboratory serves as an “intellectual watering hole” at the crossroads of diverse disciplines.
