Abstract

Taking into account all facets of mass spectrometry, we may conclude now that a mass spectrometer is not only a spectrometer. It is, in fact, a whole laboratory containing synthetic, separating, and spectrometric stages. Synthesis is performed in the ion source, especially in the chemical ionization chamber, and in collision gas cells. Crude ion mixtures of very different origins can be separated directly by a mass spectrometric analyzer system. And in a second analyzing stage spectroscopy proper may be realized giving information about the structure, quantity, and reactivity of selected ions. Combined in the hands of a skilled analyst, mass spectrometry becomes a powerful tool. Applied correctly, lower detection limits, reduced chemical noise, often drastically reduced analysis time — thus requiring less man-power — may result.

However, we must not forget one very important point of view: Mass spectrometry has not yet come to an end but is developing further very rapidly and often offers unexpected new ways of analysis. Therefore, it is worthwhile for an analyst to consider new aspects and to follow the trends in modern organic mass spectrometry.
