Description

Product Details Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique to measure the mass of atoms or molecules of a gas e.g. evaporated from a sample material which has been heated up. The spectra are used to determine the elemental or isotopic signature of a sample, the masses of particles and of molecules, and to elucidate the chemical structures of molecules, such as peptides and other chemical compounds. Mass spectrometry works by ionizing chemical compounds to generate charged molecules or molecule fragments and measuring their mass-to-charge ratios.
