Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry. Separation principle: A particle with a certain mass (m) and a certain charge (z) behaves in a predictable manner when exposed to a electromagnetic (EM) field. By measuring this response, the ratio of the two variables (m/z) can be determined. First approach:

  1. Mass Spectrometry Separation principle: A particle with a certain mass (m) and a certain charge (z) behaves in a predictable manner when exposed to a electromagnetic (EM) field. By measuring this response, the ratio of the two variables (m/z) can be determined. First approach: Ionize the particle Accelerate the particle by an electric field Modify the flight-path of the particle with a magnetic field Measure the effect of the magnetic field

  3. Other Types of Mass Spectrometers • Quadropole • only ions of known m/z can pass through at a given EM field generated by four poles (quadropole). • Ion Trap • only ions of known m/z can reach the detector, others are kept spinning in circles by an EM field generated by four poles. • Time of Flight • the accelerated ions travel a known length and the time it takes is directly related to the m/z ratio. • Ion Cyclotron (Fourier Transform) • similar to Ion Trap, six poles instead of four, the decay of the induced electric current of all the spinning ions is measured and transformed to frequency distribution, which is directly related to the m/z ratio.

  4. Intensity Time  m/z Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer Atmospheric pressure Vacuum Field free region detector acceleration ionized particles Can only be performed in high vacuum to minimize collisions between ions of different mass or other gaseous moyeties
