The main page carries links to MS Groups , MS Companies , MS Web Resources , and MS Software . This page briefly explains MS at the most basic level, and has a link that will take an interested cruiser further. A powerful tool for detecting long-lived, cosmogenic isotopes, which provide chronometers for the study of human, and other biological events. American Society for Mass Spectrometry ASMS was formed in 1969, for the purpose of promoting and disseminating knowledge of mass spectrometry and allied topics. Membership includes over 3,500 scientists involved in research and development.
Members come from academic, industrial and governmental laboratories.
Their interests include advancement of techniques and instrumentation in mass spectrometry, as well as fundamental research in chemistry, geology, biological sciences and physics. A table of residual masses for the common amino acids, with a link to a structural information database. The aim of the Society is to promote mass spectrometry by providing contact with local and international leaders in all areas, and providing a forum, through its meetings, for the presentation of research in mass spectrometry and related disciplines. The listing is ambitious, with links to many reactions and still a lot more pending. This table is mirrored in Germany .
