Q

Chemical Ionization

A

Type of ionization method where a reagent gas (i.e. methane) is ionized in a simple electron impact ion source. The now charged gas collides w/ sample molecules to produce ions or adducts.

-Different mass spectra depending on the reagent gas used.

21
Q

Describe how a mass spec works.

A

-Effluent dumped into ion source; filament in ion source; source of electrons causes fragmentation and production of charged particles; repeller has electrical potential applied to it so it directs charged particles then into a series of lenses

-Charged particles pass through lens stack to create a beam before entering quadrupole

-Quadrupole: opposite rods have the same charge
(+ or -); continually alternate polarity of poles to help filter specific masses of ions

-Reach detector (electron multiplier): each collision along the side results in ejection of multiple electrons which repeats down the length of the horn; this helps to take a small amount of charged particles and amplify them into a measurable signal

22
Q

Collison cell

A

Second quadrupole in a triple quad; contains argon

-ions travel thru Q1 and filter –> reach Q2 and collide with Argon to create product ions which are then filtered in Q3

23
Q

Ion Trap

A

Type of mass spec analyzer where you apply voltages to ring electrodes to repel masses and trap them into space to accumulate; you then change voltage to selectively eject them; higher sensitivity than quadrupole

24
Q
