    QUADRAPOLE MASS SPECTROMETER

    QUADRAPOLE MASS SPECTROMETER

    • Quadarpole mass spectrometer is a type of mass spectrometer that


    uses electric fields to analyze ion based on their mass to charge ratio.
    it consists of four parallel metal rods that create a varying electric field
    when an alternating current is applied.

    • This field selectively filters ions based on their mass to charge ratio,
    allowing the spectrometer to identify and quantity different compounds
    present in a samples.

    • It’s widely used in various scientific and industrial applications,


    including environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and forensic
    analysis
    •The quadrapole mass spectrometer is a very versatile analytical
    instrument cable of compositional analysis of gases and volatile
    liquids .
    •It consists of an electron impact ion sources, quadrupole mass
    analyzer and detector.
    The quadrupole mass spectrometer is a compact,
    reliable and low cost analytical tool which has
    numerous application in the industry.

    APPLICATIONS OF QMS :
    Gas compositional analysis from chemical
    and physical processes.
    Residual gas analysis in Ultra High Vacuum
    system.
    Molecular weight and structural identifications
    in many organic compounds.
    Technology has been transferred to PVT
    industry.

    Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

    • Four parallel cylindrical rods serve as electrodes.


    • Opposite rods are connected electrically
    • One pair attached to positive side of variable de source
    One pair attached to negative side of variable de source
    • Variable radio-frequency ac potential (180° out of phase) applied to
    each pair of rods.
    • The result is an ac potential superimposed on a de potential and this
    creates an electric field.
    Ions accelerated through the electric field between rods.
    ac and dc voltages increased simultaneously with ratio
    being constant
    All ions without specific m/e strike rods and become
    neutral
    Only ions having a limited range of m/e reach detector.
    Features of Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
    The quadrupole acts as a filter so is often called the mass
    filter.
    Sample must be ionized and it should be in gas phase.
    Has smaller range and lower resolution than magnetic
    sector but faster.
    More compact
    less expensive
    High scan rate
    TYPES OF QMS
     Quadrapole Mass Filter (QMF);
     This is the most common types where the ions are
    filtered based on their mass to change ratio (m/z) using
    the quadrupole mass filter described earlier.
     It operates in either scanning mode (scanning through
    a range of m/z ratio to generate a mass spectrum ) or
    selected ion monitoring mode ( where specific m/z
    values are monitored ).
     QMFs are versatile and widely used in various
    applications due to their relatively simple design and
    robust performance.
     There are used in analytical chemistry and
    laboratories.
    2. QUADRUPOLE ION STORAGE .
     Quadrupole ion storage typically refers to the uses of a quadrupole
    ion trap (QIT)in mass spectroscopy.
    A quadrupole ion trap is a device that uses four rods to trap and
    store ions within a confidence space.
    Ion trapping : ions are introduced into the quadrupole ion trap,
    where they are trapped and confined by applying suitable RF and
    DC voltages to the rods .
    Stability conditions : the RF and DC voltages are adjusted to create
    a stable trapping field . This field allows ions of specific mass to
    change ratio (m/z) to remain trapped while others are ejected or
    collide with the rods.
    Application : structure elucidation of molecules proteins,
    metabolisms, small molecule analysis, and gas phase ion chemistry .
