Ion Trap Mass Analyzers

Ion trap mass analyzers use oscillating electric fields (RF) to trap ions in a controlled manner. This module will explore the theory and principles of ion trap mass analyzers and their usefulness in qualitative analysis.

Quadrupole Mass Analyzers

In quadrupole mass analyzing devices, electric fields are used to separate ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) as they pass along the central axis of four parallel equidistant rods (or poles) that have fixed (DC) and alternating (RF) voltages applied to them. This module will explain the theory and principles of quadrupole mass analyzers.

Magnetic Sector Mass Analyzers

This module will discuss the theory and practice of using magnetic sector mass analyzers. Magnet/electric sector instruments are employed for mass analysis using the principle that charged species can be deflected in magnetic and electric fields.

Orbitrap Mass Analyzers

Ion trapping techniques are important tools in mass spectrometry. However, traditional ion trap mass analyzers have disadvantages in either performance or high complexity and cost. This module will explore the theory and working principles of orbitrap mass analyzers.

Vacuum Systems

This module will discuss the different types of vacuum pumps available and explain the importance of vacuum in LC-MS.

Introduction to Mass Analyzers

This module will introduce the commonly used mass analyzers for LC-MS.

Electrospray Ionization Instrumentation

Electrospray is the dispersion of a liquid into electrically charged droplets, combining the two processes of droplet formation and droplet charging. This module discusses the major components of an electrospray interface and investigates methods for optimizing signal.

Time-of-Flight (ToF) Mass Analyzers

This module details the basic principles of mass analysis using time-of-flight (ToF) mass analyzers.
