46
Q

An analytical method that couples a gas chromatograph (GC) with a mass spectrometer (MS). The GC separates the components of a mixture to be analyzed by sweeping the components, in the gas phase, through a column containing an adsorbant called a stationary phase. The gaseous molecules will cling to the surface of the stationary phase (be adsorbed) with different strengths. Those molecules that cling (adsorb) weakly will pass through the column quickly: those that adsorb more strongly will pass through the column more slowly. The separated components of the mixture are then introduced into the mass spectrometer, where they are analyzed

A

GC/MS analysis

47
Q

A method of ion formation in mass spectrometry whereby a solution of the sample to be analyzed (analyte) is sprayed into the vacuum chamber of the mass spectrometer from the tip of a high-voltage needle, imparting charge to the mixture. Evaporation of the solvent in the vacuum chamber yields charged species of the analyte, some of which may have charges greater than +1. A family or m/z peaks unique to the formula weight itself can be calculated by computer

A

48
Q

A method in mass spectrometry for ionizing analyses that don’t ionize well by electrospray ionization. The analyte is mixed with low molecular weight organic molecules that can absorb energy from a laser and then transfer this energy to the analyte, producing ions which are then analyzed by the mass spectrometer

A
