Quadrupole MS

Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (Quadrupole MS) is a widely used technique for analyzing ions based on their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio. It consists of four parallel rods that create an oscillating electric field, allowing only specific ions to pass through while others are filtered out. Quadrupole MS is known for its fast scanning speed, robustness, and high sensitivity, making it ideal for quantitative and qualitative analysis in pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical research. It is often combined with techniques like Gas Chromatography (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography (LC-MS) to provide accurate identification and quantification of small molecules and metabolites.read more
