质量分析器 Mass Analysers:Factors to Consider Upper mass limit: Highest m/z that can be detected May be offset by multiple charges Resolution: Distinct signals for similar m/z ratios Transmission: Ratio of ions reaching detector: ions produced Cost Mass Analysers:Resolution (Resolving Power) Ability to resolve two signals of similar m/z Resolved if valley is 10% Higher resolution: greater accuracy e.g. R=20,000: Separate m/z 100.0000 from m/z 100.0050 Accuracy needed: High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) Determine elemental composition of an ion Vital to confirm structure Mass Analyse
