Quadrupole Time of Flight Mass Spec
« on: October 02, 2012, 05:51:40 PM »
Hey,

Can anyone explain to me what does the "Quadrupole" in the name actually means?

Thanks,

Nescafe.

This Wikipedia article is more a propos, and is really pretty good: shows you one actually removed from the instrument, and explains it with cartoons well.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
