Advances in methods and techniques for the identification of Xeno-biotic conjugates

Abstract
This review discusses recent advances in methods and instrumentation that are potentially useful for the characterization of polar xenobiotic conjugates. Topics that are discussed include: fast atom bombardment, secondary ion, 252Cf-plasma desorption, field desorption and direct chemical ionization mass spectrometry and, proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry.
