Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that ionizes chemical species and sorts the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio to identify and quantify molecules with high precision. It is widely used in life sciences (proteomics, metabolomics), pharmaceuticals (drug discovery, pharmacokinetics), environmental testing (pollutant detection), food safety (contaminant analysis), and clinical diagnostics (biomarker identification). Key technologies include single quadrupole, triple quadrupole, time-of-flight (TOF), ion trap, Orbitrap, and hybrid systems (e.g., Q-TOF, Q-Orbitrap). Instruments range from benchtop to high-resolution standalone models, often coupled with separation techniques like liquid chromatography (LC-MS) or gas chromatography (GC-MS) for enhanced accuracy.
