Ionization and Mass Analyzers. Ionizations Electron Ionization - “hard” Chemical Ionization - “soft” MALDI - desorption FAB - desorption Laser Post Ionization - increase signal! Ion Bombardment (SIMS) - soft or hard Depends on ion fluence Mass Analyzers Analyze all mass/charge

Ionization and Mass Analyzers • Ionizations • Electron Ionization - “hard” • Chemical Ionization - “soft” • MALDI - desorption • FAB - desorption • Laser Post Ionization - increase signal! • Ion Bombardment (SIMS) - soft or hard • Depends on ion fluence • Mass Analyzers • Analyze all mass/charge • Time-of-flight • Pre- Select Ions • Quadropole • Magnetic or Electric Sectors
Electron Ionization • Molecule + e- molecule+ + 2e- • Four electromagnetic poles • Rapidly oscillating field • If mass of ion and frequency of oscillation are comparable then the ion will oscillate towards the detector and be measured • A certain mass range can be selected depending on the pole diameter Quadropole Mass Analyzer
