Frequently Asked Questions

What are mass spectrometers used for?
Mass spectrometers are used to analyze the composition and structure of chemical substances by measuring the mass of charged particles.
How do time-of-flight mass spectrometers work?
Time-of-flight mass spectrometers determine the mass-to-charge ratio of ions by measuring the time it takes for them to travel a fixed distance.
What industries commonly use mass spectrometers?
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and food safety commonly use mass spectrometers for analytical purposes.
How does a quadrupole mass spectrometer differ from others?
A quadrupole mass spectrometer uses electric fields to filter ions by their mass-to-charge ratio, providing rapid and accurate measurements.
