Mass spectrometry • Sample converted to positive ions by collisions with a stream of high energy electrons on entering the spectrometer. • Charged sample is accelerated using applied voltage • Ions then passed into an evacuated tube and through a magnetic field. • Magnetic field causes ions to be deflected by different amounts depending on their mass. • Ions with the same mass-to-charge ratio hit the detector at the same spot. (Brown, LeMay and Bursten, 9th ed., p.45)
