Organic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

March 1, 2012

Ionization strategies and themes first developed in organic secondary ion mass spectrometry underlie many modern MS methods. Here's how it works.

Managing Mass Spectrometric Data

January 1, 2012

Aspects of integrated data management specifically for mass spectrometric data are explored, including spectral dataset size, laboratory documents, and requirements for archiving and sharing research data.

Detecting Ions in Mass Spectrometers with the Faraday Cup

November 1, 2011

The Faraday cup has been associated with mass spectrometry since the first instruments were assembled and continues to be used today. Here's how it works.

Consequences of Finite Ion Lifetimes in Mass Spectrometry

September 1, 2011

Consequences of Finite Ion Lifetimes in Mass Spectrometry As we construct more-complex instruments that process packets of ions in time and space, the issue of ion lifetimes is becoming more important.

Mass Spectrometry for First Responders

July 1, 2011

Mass spectrometry is now among the tools used by first responders to identify potential threats, but there are challenges involved, including interpreting results and ensuring data relevance.

Hybrid Mass Spectrometers

March 1, 2011

Analyses performed with hybrid mass spectrometers yield large volumes of complex data at high speeds and resolution.

Underwater Mass Spectrometry

January 1, 2011

This month's column describes the use of mass spectrometers in submarines and their more recent use for direct sampling of compounds dissolved in water at ever-increasing depths.

Ion Burn and the Dirt of Mass Spectrometry

September 1, 2010

Ken Busch explores the dirt of mass spectrometry ? its origins and its visible consequences in a deposit on metal surfaces called ion burn.

Mass Spectrometry–Mass Spectrometry Retrospective

July 1, 2010
