INTRODUCTION
Mass spectrometry is an analytical chemistry technique that helps
identifying the amount and type of chemicals present in a sample
by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio and abundance of gas
phase ions.
Typical representation of mass spectrometer
MASS ANALYSERS
Mass analysers are called heart of mass
spectrometer .
These are the instruments which separates
the mixtures of ions that are generated
during the ionization step by m/z in order to
obtain a spectrum.
Types of mass analysers
Magnet sector mass spectrometer.
Quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Ion trap mass spectrometer.
Time of flight mass spectrometer.
Fourier transform mass spectrometer.

QUADRUPOLE MASS SPECTROMETER
Quadrupole mass analysers concept was first reported
by Paul and Steinwedel in the 1950s.
Quadrupole consists of four rods which are arranged
parallelly.
Rods opposite to one another are electrically
connected.
Ions are separated based on m/z at a particular DC and
Radiofrequency voltage.
PRINCIPLE:
 . IONS FROM THE IONS SOURCE
QUADRUPOLE ANALYSER WITH A
CONSTANT DC AND RF VOLTAGE
AT GIVEN COMBINATION OF DC AND RF
VOLTAGE
IONS WITH CERTAIN m/z
VALUES REACH THE
DETECTOR
IONS WITH DIFFERENT m/z
VALUES TRAVEL UNSTABLE
PATH
CONSTRUCTION:
It consists of four electrically conducting parallel rods.
One diagonally opposite pair of rods is held at +Udc
volts and the other pair at –Udc volts.
A radiofrequency oscillator supplies +Vcosωt to the first
pair and –Vcosωt to the second pair.
Ions enter to the quadrupole through a circular aperture.
WORKING:
 When ions enter into the quadrupole ions get deflected by
the positive and negative electrodes and ion with a certain
m/z value will reach the detector.
 This can be explained by taking individual pair of rods.
Rods connected with +DC and +RF Voltage :
Rods connected wit –DC and –RF voltage
In combination of both the pair of rods
Example:
FACTORS AFFECTING FUNCTION OF QUADRUPOLE:
 Focussing slits
 Rod length
 Rod diameter
 Increased rf frequency
ADVANTAGES:
 High sensitivity.
 They can operate close to ground potential.
 Ideal for interfacing to LC system and for atmospheric
pressure ionization (API) techniques such as electrospray.
 Well suited for the negative ions ,since the analyser does not
discriminate between the polarity of the ions.
 Economic, robust and scanning is very fast.
DISADVANTAGES:
Quadrupole is generally inferior to magnetic sector
analyser with respect to resolution and mass range.
Peak height variable as a function of mass.
Not well suited for pulsed ionization methods.
APPLICATIONS:
In liquid chromatography-Mass spectrometry.
In Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry.
To measure the relative amounts of different gases in
a mixture.
Proteomics.
TIME OF FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETR
Introduction:
Stephens first described the concept of time of flight in 1946.
As the name implies, time of flight mass spectrometer
separates ions and measure their m/z based on the time they
take to pass ( “fly” ) from the ion source to the detector.
PRINCIPLE:
Ions with different masses and same kinetic energy
travel when accelerated and the ions with smaller
masses (less m/z value)reaches early to the detector
than the bigger masses .
THEORY:
The kinetic energy of ions of mass (m), charge (z) and accelerating potential (V) is given by
KE = zV = ½ mv2 (1)
Where (v) is velocity of the ions which is given by
v = l/t
where, l = length of the tube
t = time taken by the ions to pass the length of the tube
Therefore, equation 1 becomes
zV = ½ ml2/t2
m/z = 2Vt2/l2
2V/l2 = k (constant)
therefore, m/z = kt2
m/z α t2

VARIANTS OF LINEAR TOF ANALYSER
1.Ion mirror / ion reflectron / reflectron.
2.Time-lag focussing
NEED FOR VARIANT TYPE OF TOF ANALYSER
Ions with very similar m/z ratio may have relatively poor
mass resolutions .
This is due to the spatial distribution in the ion source and
their proximity to the applied electric field, not all the ions
receive the same kinetic energy.
This leads to components in mixtures being unresolved
from one another and large errors in molecular weight
measurements.
ION MIRROR / ION REFLECTRON / REFLECTRON
Construction and working:
.
It consists of stack of donut shaped lens connected by a
series of resistors across which voltage is applied.
These lenses repell the ions entered.
These ions are reflected down at second flight tube to a
second detector.
Mass resolution is achieved as ions of different kinetic
energies penetrate the mirror to differing degrees.
.
For example consider two ions of the same m/z ratio that
have slightly different kinetic energies.
TIME-LAG FOCUSSING / PULSED ION EXTRACTION /
DELAYED EXTRACTION
Construction and working:
.
In time-lag focusing TOF applying accelerating potential is
delayed.
Ions from the ion source will have some kinetic energy and
moves with different velocities
Application of potential gives more energy to the ions which
are away from the detector than closer to it.
The amplitude is adjusted in such a way that all the ions
reach the detector at the same time.
ADVANTAGES OF TOF MASS ANALYSER
Mass range is unlimited.
Excellent sensitivity due to lack of resolving slits.
DISADVANTAGES OF TOF MASS ANALYSER
Limited use in case of pulsed ionization techniques.
Mass resolution is usually less than 20000.
Fast electronics are necessary for adequate resolution.
APPLICATION OF TOF MASS ANALYSER
Due to its fast scanning capability it is increasingly being
used in LC-MS instrumentation.
Generally it is used in case of fast analysis or in high
chromatographic resolution techniques.

  • 27. NEED FOR VARIANT TYPE OF TOF ANALYSER Ions with very similar m/z ratio may have relatively poor mass resolutions . This is due to the spatial distribution in the ion source and their proximity to the applied electric field, not all the ions receive the same kinetic energy. This leads to components in mixtures being unresolved from one another and large errors in molecular weight measurements.

  • 29. ION MIRROR / ION REFLECTRON / REFLECTRON Construction and working:
  • 30. . It consists of stack of donut shaped lens connected by a series of resistors across which voltage is applied. These lenses repell the ions entered. These ions are reflected down at second flight tube to a second detector. Mass resolution is achieved as ions of different kinetic energies penetrate the mirror to differing degrees.
  • 31. . For example consider two ions of the same m/z ratio that have slightly different kinetic energies.
  • 32. TIME-LAG FOCUSSING / PULSED ION EXTRACTION / DELAYED EXTRACTION Construction and working:
  • 33. . In time-lag focusing TOF applying accelerating potential is delayed. Ions from the ion source will have some kinetic energy and moves with different velocities Application of potential gives more energy to the ions which are away from the detector than closer to it. The amplitude is adjusted in such a way that all the ions reach the detector at the same time.
  • 34. ADVANTAGES OF TOF MASS ANALYSER Mass range is unlimited. Excellent sensitivity due to lack of resolving slits.
  • 35. DISADVANTAGES OF TOF MASS ANALYSER Limited use in case of pulsed ionization techniques. Mass resolution is usually less than 20000. Fast electronics are necessary for adequate resolution.
  • 36. APPLICATION OF TOF MASS ANALYSER Due to its fast scanning capability it is increasingly being used in LC-MS instrumentation. Generally it is used in case of fast analysis or in high chromatographic resolution techniques.
