Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization chamber cross section. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) is an ionization method used in mass spectrometry which utilizes gas-phase ion-molecule reactions at atmospheric pressure (10 5 Pa), [1] [2] commonly coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). [3]
Peroxynitrate chemical ionization mass spectrometer at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. CI mass spectrometry is a useful tool in structure elucidation of organic compounds. [3] This is possible with CI, because formation of [M+1] + eliminates a stable molecule, which can be used to guess the functional groups present. [3]
It is not possible to make an accurate identification of a particular molecule by gas chromatography or mass spectrometry alone. The mass spectrometry process normally requires a very pure sample while gas chromatography using a traditional detector (e.g. Flame ionization detector) cannot differentiate between multiple molecules that happen to ...
The use of the term mass spectroscopy is now discouraged due to the possibility of confusion with light spectroscopy. [1] [8] Mass spectrometry is often abbreviated as mass-spec or simply as MS. [1] Modern techniques of mass spectrometry were devised by Arthur Jeffrey Dempster and F.W. Aston in 1918 and 1919 respectively.
Both, the first mass analyzer and the collision cell are continuously exposed to ions from the source, in a time independent manner. [4] It is once the ions move into the third mass analyzer that time dependence becomes a factor. [4] The first quadrupole mass filter, Q1, is the primary m/z selector after the sample leaves the ionization source.
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a type of mass spectrometry that uses an inductively coupled plasma to ionize the sample. It atomizes the sample and creates atomic and small polyatomic ions , which are then detected.
Laboratory information management software for mass spectrometry information management and data analysis. OpenChrom: Open source: Chromatography and mass spectrometry software that can be extended using plug-ins and can run on several operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X) and processor architectures (x86, x86_64, ppc).
Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry is a high-resolution technique that can be used to determine masses with high accuracy. Many applications of FTICR-MS use this mass accuracy to help determine the composition of molecules based on accurate mass. This is possible due to the mass defect of the elements.
