| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| Time-of-flight mass spectrometer |
|---|
| An instrument that separates ions by m/z in a field-free region after acceleration to a contstant kinetic energy. |
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |
| This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment. |
Orange Book Entry
Time-of-flight mass spectrometer An instrument making use of the fact that ions of different mass/charge ratio, and all with the same initial translational energy, require different times to traverse a given distance in a field-free region.
