Why do we need mass analyzers?
• To separate ions with a desired
resolution/resolving power.
• Resolving power: the ability of a mass
spectrometer to separate ions with
different mass to charge (m/z) ratios.
J. Throck Watson
“Introduction to Mass Spectrometry” p. 103

R=M/∆M
∆M
• Common features
– Accelerated charge species interact with
• Electrostatic (ESA, OT)
• Magnetic (B, ICR)
• Electromagnetic (rf) fields (Q, IT, LT, OT)
– Or just fly (TOF)

Desirable characteristics of mass analyzers
(also useful for MS/MS)
Analyzer Purpose
______ synthetic organic chemist wants exact mass of
compound
_______ biochemist wants protein molecular weight of
relatively large protein (MW 300,000)
_______ EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) wants
confirmation of benzene in extracts from 3000
soil samples
_______ Petroleum chemist wants to confirm the
presence of 55 unique compounds at one
nominal mass/charge value in a mass spectrum
6
m/z values are determined by measuring different physical
parameters
Mass Analyzers
• Magnetic (B) and/or Electrostatic (E) (HISTORIC/OLDEST)
• Time-of-flight (TOF)
• Quadrupole (Q)

Quadrupole Ion Trap (QIT)
• Quadrupole ion trap mass analyzer consists of three
hyperbolic electrodes: the ring electrode, the
entrance endcap electrode and the exit endcap
electrode.
• Ions enter trap through inlet focusing system and
entrance endcap electrode.
• An AC potential of constant frequency and variable
amplitude is applied to the ring electrode to produce
a 3D quadrupolar potential field within the trapping
cavity which traps ions in a stable oscillating
trajectory confined within the trapping cell.
• The oscillating trajectory is dependent on the trapping
potential and the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions.
• During ion detection, the electrode system potentials
are altered to produce instabilities in the ion
trajectories and thus eject the ions.

Fourier Transform-Ion Cyclotron
Resonance (FTICR)
• In the presence of a magnetic field, sample
ions orbit according to cyclotron frequency, fc
• Cyclotron frequency related to charge of ion
(z), magnetic field strength (B) and mass of
ion (m).
FTICR
• Image is Fourier transformed to obtain the component
frequencies and amplitudes (intensity) of the various ions.
• Cyclotron frequency value is converted into a m/z value to
produce mass spectrum w/ the appropriate intensities.
