Purpose Mass spectrometers use the difference in mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ionized atoms or molecules to separate them. Therefore, mass spectroscopy allows quantitation of atoms or molecules and provides structural information by the identification of distinctive fragmentation patterns. The general operation of a mass spectrometer is: "1. " create gas-phase ions "2. " separate the ions in space or time based on their mass-to-charge ratio "3.

  • Liquid Injection Field Desorption/Ionization-Mass
    Liquid Injection Field Desorption/Ionization- Mass Spectrometry of Ionic Liquids Jürgen H. Gross Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany ϩ Ten ionic liquids based on four types of organic cations, C (imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, pyridinium, and phosphonium), combined with various types of anions, AϪ, were analyzed by liquid injection field desorption/ionization- (LIFDI) mass spectrometry. For the purpose of LIFDI analysis the ionic liquids were dissolved in methanol, acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran at Ϫ concentrationsof0.01–0.1 ␮lmL 1. The measurements were performed on a double-focusing magnetic sector instrument. In all ionic liquid LIFDI spectra, the intact cation of the compound ϩ yielded the base peak accompanied by cluster ions of the general formula [C A] and ϩ 2 occasionally [C3A2] . Tandem mass spectrometry and reconstructed ion chromatograms were employed to reveal the identity of the observed ions. Although limited to positive-ion mode, LIFDI also provided analytical information on the anions due to cluster ion formation. Depending on actual emitter condition and ionic liquid the limit of detection in survey scans was determined to 5–50 pg of ionic liquid.

The necessary field strength is chemical synthesis [1–3]. Consequently, there is a need normally achieved by setting whisker-bearing wires— for the development of methods for their analysis, be it so-called activated emitters [32–34]—to high electric for the sake of checking their purity, to verify their potential of typically 10–12 kV opposed to a counter absence in products from processes where ILs are electrode at ϳ2 mm distance.

  • The MALDI Process and Method 1
    1 1 The MALDI Process and Method Franz Hillenkamp , Thorsten W. Jaskolla , and Michael Karas 1.1 Introduction Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization ( MALDI ) is one of the two “soft” ioni- zation techniques besides electrospray ionization ( ESI ) which allow for the sensi- tive detection of large, nonvolatile and labile molecules by mass spectrometry. Over the past 27 years, MALDI has developed into an indispensable tool in analyti- cal chemistry, and in analytical biochemistry in particular. In this chapter, the reader will be introduced to the technology as it stands now, and some of the underlying physical and chemical mechanisms as far as they have been investi- gated and clarifi ed to date will be discussed. Attention will also be focused on the central issues of MALDI, that are necessary for the user to understand for the effi cient application of this technique. As an in-depth discussion of these topics is beyond the scope of this chapter, the reader is referred to recent reviews [1–4] . Details of the current state of instrumentation, including lasers and their coupling to mass spectrometers, will be presented in Chapter 2 . As with most new technologies, MALDI came as rather a surprise even to the experts in the fi eld on the one hand, but also evolved from a diversity of prior art and knowledge on the other hand. The original notion had been that (bio)mole- cules with masses in excess of about 500–1000 Da could not be isolated out of their natural (e.g., aqueous) environment, and even less be charged for an analysis in the vacuum of a mass spectrometer without excessive and unspecifi c fragmenta- tion.

FAB matrices Introduction A mass spectrometer works by using magnetic and electric fields to exert forces on charged par- ticles (ions) in a vacuum. Therefore, a compound must be charged or ionized to be analyzed by a mass spectrometer. Furthermore, the ions must be introduced in the gas phase into the vacuum system of the mass spectrometer. This is easily done for gaseous or heat-volatile samples. How- ever, many (thermally labile) analytes decompose upon heating. These kinds of samples require either desorption or desolvation methods if they are to be analyzed by mass spectrometry. Al- though ionization and desorption/desolvation are usually separate processes, the term "ionization method" is commonly used to refer to both ionization and desorption (or desolvation) methods. The choice of ionization method depends on the nature of the sample and the type of information required from the analysis. So-called 'soft ionization' methods such as field desorption and elec- trospray ionization tend to produce mass spectra with little or no fragment-ion content. Gas-Phase Ionization These methods rely upon ionizing gas-phase samples. The samples are usually introduced through a heated batch inlet, heated direct insertion probe, or a gas chromatograph.

Abstract Mass Spectrometry- It is an analytical technique that generates charged particles in the form of ions from the substance to be analysed to measure its mass to charge ratio. Ion Source plays an important role for generation of charged ions which further travels through analyser and ends at detector. The production of intact molecular ions can be achieved under adequate experimental conditions, with minimal fragmentation known as soft ionization method. Neutral species either loss or gain of charge to generates ions. This paper covers an information about various type of mass ion Source (Electron impact, Chemical ionization and field ionization, Desorption-Field desorption, Electro spray ionization, matrix assisted desorption ionization, Plasma desorption) are in use for mass spectroscopy.
