1 Why Mass Spectrometry? Introduction to GC/MS A powerful analytical technique used to: 1.Identify unknown compounds 2. Quantify known materials down to trace levels 3. Elucidate the structure of molecules (mol. wt.) Presented with permission of H.M. McNair. Also, needs only micrograms of samples 26, Pierce Biotechnology, Inc. Mass Spectra of Carbon Dioxide Relative Abundance C+ 12 O+ 16 CO+ 28 CO 2 + [M+] A mass spectrum is a graph of ion abundance vs. mass-to-charge ratio Why Gas Chromatography? Capable of resolving complex volatile mixtures (>45 peaks for coffee aroma) Uses small sample size (micrograms to picograms) Fast analyses usually a matter of minutes Good quantitation 1-2% RSD normally

2 Capabilities of GC/MS Combines advantages of both techniques: 1. High resolving power of GC 2. Positive identification of MS Requires only small samples (micrograms to picograms) Quantitative trace analysis ~ ppm, ppb Mass range of 1-8 Limitations of GC/MS Expensive ($4 K to $25 K) Bench-top systems $4 K to $8 K Complex to operate (improving) Must know GC, MS, vacuum and interpretation Only volatile samples GC 76 torr Heated Output Combining GC and MS Types of interfaces: Requires Interface jet separator packed columns MS High Vacuum Heated Input direct interface capillary columns Jet Separator Column Flow Interfaces Capillary Direct Interface GC Oven Fused Silica Column To Vacuum Heated Transfer Line To MS source (separate Vacuum) MS Source Separate Vacuum
