Mass Analyzers. Principles of the three most common types magnetic sector, quadrupole and time of flight - will be discussed herein. Mass Analyzers After the production of ions in ion sources, the next critical step in mass spectrometry is to separate these gas phase ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). Ions are extracted
