Mass Spectrometry Method

Mass Spectrometry is a versatile and powerful analytical technique used to determine the mass-to-charge ratio of ions in a sample. This method is vital in identifying and quantifying chemical compounds, assessing molecular structures, and characterizing complex mixtures. It involves ionization of the sample, separation of ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio, and detection of ion abundance. Mass spectrometers can analyze a wide range of compounds, from small organic molecules to large biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. This technique is fundamental in various fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science, and pharmaceuticals, and plays a crucial role in research, quality control, and forensic analysis.
