Mass Spectrometry Training

One of the most used pieces of equipment for analysing a sample is the mass spectrometer. It works by separating ions based on their mass/charge ratio and sending them through a magnetic or electrical field. The theory mass spectrometry (MS) was put forward in the late 1890s, but it wasn’t until the early 20th Centrury […]
