  1. LC-MS Lecture 7

  2. LC-MS LC Interface Mass Analyzer Detector Extraction of The analyte from The solvent Ion evaporation or ionization. Fragmentation • LC – Separation of the mixture of analytes • Interface – Separation of the analyte from the solvent • MA (mass analyzer) – separation of the analyte molecular ion and fragments according to their mass to charge ratio

  3. HPLC Liquid phase operation 25 - 50 deg. C No mass range limitations Inorganic buffers 1 ml/min eluent flow is equivalent to 500 ml/min of gas MS Vacuum operation 200 - 300 deg. C Up to 4000 Da for quadrupole MS Requires volatile buffers Accepts 10 ml/min gas flow PROBLEMS IN COMBINING HPLC AND MS
