A historical perspective and commentary on pioneering developments in gas chromatography/mass spectrometry at MIT.
Klaus Biemann has helped shape many aspects of the field of modern mass spectrometry. This paper reviews and comments on some of his innovative contributions to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) during the 1960s and 1970s with particular emphasis on the molecular separator, a comprehensive plan for the acquisition and processing of GC/MS data and the application of GC/MS to the analysis of drugs in emergency cases.
