Mass spectrometry
Mass spectrometry refers to a method for measuring the mass of atoms or molecules. The molecules to be analyzed are transferred to the gas phase and ionized. The ions are then accelerated by an electric field and directed to the analyzer, which sorts them according to their mass-to-charge ratio m/z. The molecules can be fragmented in the process, which is often desirable when studying biopolymers.
Mass spectrometry is used in many fields, including the characterization of chemical compounds, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, forensic science, doping control, environmental analysis, and the determination of the precious metal content in alloys. There are various techniques depending on the application and accuracy required.
