Quadropole Mass Analyzer Four electromagnetic poles Rapidly oscillating









- Slides: 9
Quadropole Mass Analyzer • Four electromagnetic poles • Rapidly oscillating RF potential with a fixed DC potential • If mass of ion and frequency of oscillation are comparable then the ion will oscillate towards the detector and be measured • A certain mass range can be selected depending on the pole diameter
