Dedication This book is dedicated to my wife Jyotsna and daughters Megha and Mohini who are my inspiration to keep moving forward in life.
Preface Applications of mass spectrometry particularly in the fields of drugs and toxins analyses are growing exponentially. This is due to the facts that the newer instruments are much more user-friendly, less expensive, compact, and robust. Furthermore, the technology is versatile and generally does not require any special reagents such as antibodies to the drugs. Other advantages of mass spectrometry include increased sensitivity and specificity and multicomponent analysis. Using this technology hundreds to thousands of compounds can be screened in a single assay run. This volume Clinical Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Drug Analysis provides methods and protocols for a number of drugs
