Mass spectrometry data analysis is specific to the type of experiment producing the data. General subdivisions of data are fundamental to understanding any data. Many mass spectrometers work in either negative ion mode or positive ion mode. It is very important to know whether the observed ions are negatively or positively charged.
In mass spectrometry, direct analysis in real time (DART) is an ion source that produces electronically or vibronically excited-state species from gases such as helium, argon, or nitrogen that ionize atmospheric molecules or dopant molecules. The ions generated from atmospheric or dopant molecules undergo ion-molecule reactions with the sample ...
Plasma desorption ionization mass spectrometry (PDMS), also called fission fragment ionization, is a mass spectrometry technique in which ionization of material in a solid sample is accomplished by bombarding it with ionic or neutral atoms formed as a result of the nuclear fission of a suitable nuclide, typically the californium isotope 252 Cf ...
Fixed some issues remarked in german wikipedia, e.g. ion beams are already separated in front of magnet, separation depends on mass to charge ratio not on mass. resized image: 04:23, 28 October 2008: 338 × 330 (37 KB) Devon Fyson: Workaround for unrendered curved text; Bold larger labels; Capitalization fix: 04:14, 28 October 2008: 338 × 330 ...
Peroxynitrate chemical ionization mass spectrometer at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. CI mass spectrometry is a useful tool in structure elucidation of organic compounds. [3] This is possible with CI, because formation of [M+1] + eliminates a stable molecule, which can be used to guess the functional groups present. [3]
In the selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer, SIFT-MS, ions are generated in a microwave plasma ion source, usually from a mixture of laboratory air and water vapor. . From the formed plasma, a single ionic species is selected using a quadrupole mass filter to act as "precursor ions" (also frequently referred to as primary or reagent ions in SIFT-MS and other processes involving chemical ...
The x-axis of a mass spectrum represents a relationship between the mass of a given ion and the number of elementary charges that it carries. This is written as the IUPAC standard m/z to denote the quantity formed by dividing the mass of an ion (in daltons) by the dalton unit and by its charge number (positive absolute value).
Schematic of field desorption ionization with emitter at left and mass spectrometer at right. Field desorption (FD) is a method of ion formation used in mass spectrometry (MS) in which a high-potential electric field is applied to an emitter with a sharp surface, such as a razor blade, or more commonly, a filament from which tiny "whiskers" have formed.
