Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry is an analytical method that ionizes chemical species and separates of ions based on their mass to charge ratio. In order to measure the characteristics of individual molecules, a mass spectrometer convert them in to ions so that they can be moved about and replace by external magnetic fields and electric fields.Mass spectrometry has been enhanced with advanced features related the fields in life sciences and medical analysis of the various sorts of explanatory methods utilized as a part of drug discovery and advancement. A mass spectrum is a plot of the ion signals as a function of the molecular mass-to-charge ratio. These spectra are use to determine the elemental or isotopic signature of a given sample, the masses of particles and of molecules, and to elucidate the structures of chemical molecules, such as peptides and another chemical compounds.
