Those often overlooked, but critical, parts of a mass spectrometer.

First, let's look at the ion source, which is the "heart" of the mass spectrometer and is responsible for converting the sample into ions. An efficient ion source can significantly increase signal intensity and analytical sensitivity.

Next up is the Mass Analyzer, which is the "brain" of the mass spectrometer, which separates and detects ions. The resolution and precision of the mass analyzer directly affect the accuracy of the experimental results.

Of course, the "Vacuum System" is also indispensable to ensure a high vacuum environment inside the instrument, thereby improving ion transmission efficiency and detection sensitivity.

In summary, each component of a mass spectrometer plays an important role, and together they determine the performance and reliability of the instrument. Paying attention to these key components when selecting and maintaining a mass spectrometer will help you achieve more accurate analytical results.
