The Research of Effects on the Performance Parameters of the Quadrupole Mass Filter

Article Preview

Abstract:

As the main body of the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), quadrupole mass filter’s performance will largely affect the overall performance of the instrument. Its main performance parameters include the range of mass analysis resolution and the abundance sensitivity. In this article, we have analyzed simulated and then studied its several main performance parameters which affects the instrument.
