Understanding Mass Analyzers - Traps and ToFs

In this webcast, we present the fundamentals of ion trap and time-of-flight mass analyzers. The session will consider topics such as the anatomy of the analyzer types, working principles, the importance of mass accuracy and resolution, when to use the various analyzer types, and the performance one might expect from each.

Topics include:

• Why use an ion trap or time of flight mass analyzing device
• Anatomy of the analyzers
• Importance of analyzer accuracy and resolution
• Two and three dimensional ion traps
• Orbitrap analyzers
• Mass analyzing principles
• Important operating parameters
• Mass spectral experiments
• Pros and cons of the mass analyzers
• Figures of merit
