| |
|
| |
| Mass spectrometers are considered to consist of three parts:
| |
|
| |
| 1) Sample preparation & ionization:
| |
| for bringing the analyte in gas phase and in charged state
| |
|
| |
| 2) Mass analyzer:
| |
| instrument with which the physical quantity mass/charge of charged particles is measured.
| |
|
| |
| 3) Data system:
| |
| hardware and software for processing the data received from the mass analyzer. }}
