In-Depth Information
At least, extended compound/spectra data bases especially for ESI that allow
adequate fitting and search algorithms will help to improve identification of unknown
analytes relevant for toxicological and forensic samples.
To conclude, TA analysis by LC-MS methods will benefit from general technical
progress in the near future allowing to obtain more rapid and exact data for qualita-
tive and quantitative measurement.
