Abstract
In the last ten years mass spectrometry has grown to become one of the most valuable techniques for analysis and structure determination of bile acids. A very important reason for this development is the construction of combined gas chromatography—mass spectrometry instruments capable of dealing with complex biological mixtures at a high sensitivity level. Since the biochemist and clinical chemist are interested mainly in the analysis of biological materials, the aim of this chapter is to provide information on the use of this instrument combination, i.e., the use of a gas chromatograph as an inlet system or the use of a mass spectrometer as a gas chromatographic detector. Emphasis has been put on practical considerations and on correlations between mass spectra and structure rather than on mechanistic interpretations of the spectra. For details on the latter aspect the reader is referred to the books by Budzikiewicz, Djerassi, and Williams (1, 2).
