How Mass Spectrometers Work and Their Role in Chemistry

In the landscape of modern analytical science, mass spectrometry (MS) stands as the definitive tool for identifying and quantifying molecules. While techniques like how NMR spectroscopy determines molecular structure rely on magnetic resonance to map the “skeleton” of a molecule, mass spectrometry provides the “fingerprint”—the exact weight and fragmentation pattern of the substance [1]. From […]
