What is Mass Spectrometry ? The determination of the mass of a molecule by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of its ion
QQQ / Q-TOF Components of a Mass Spectrometer
QQQ / Q-TOF Ions are formed by inducing a gain or loss of a charge Ions are directed into an analyser held at high vacuum by a series of electrostatic potentials Ions are separated by their m/z
