Ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometry in chemical-pharmaceutical analyses
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a set of analytical techniques capable of separating ions in relation to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) using appropriate magnetic fields. The functional part of the MS is represented by the mass spectrometer which essentially consists of a sample introduction system, an ionization chamber, an analyzer, and a detector
