Mass Spectometry
Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio. It has become indispensable in various fields, including chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, and environmental science. By ionizing molecules and separating them according to their mass, mass spectrometry provides valuable insights into the composition, structure, and properties of complex samples. From elucidating the structure of biomolecules to detecting trace amounts of contaminants, mass spectrometry continues to revolutionize research and industry, offering unparalleled precision and sensitivity in molecular analysis.
