About Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry is used for many analytical purposes including:

• Identify unknown compounds
• Determine elemental composition
• Determine the abundance of a compound in a sample
• Determine the structure of a molecule
• Measure the physical, chemical, or biological properties of a great variety of compounds

In analytical laboratories, the most common applications involving a mass spectrometer are Pharmaceutical, Biopharma, Drug screening, Environmental testing, Food & beverage testing, Petrochemical.

The vacuum system in a mass spectrometer typically operates below in the micron range to allow the free flight of molecular fragments to travel to the detector.

Mass spectrometers can analyze atoms, molecules and biological material ranging in size from protons to macro-compounds such as DNA. Compounds injected into Mass Spectrometer are fragmented into molecular fragments.
