Which type of mass spectrometer separates ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio using a magnetic field?

  • A Quadrupole mass spectrometer
  • B Time-of-flight mass spectrometer
  • C Ion trap mass spectrometer
  • D Magnetic sector mass spectrometer
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

A Magnetic sector mass spectrometer separates ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio using a magnetic field. In this type of mass spectrometer, ions are accelerated through a magnetic field, and the extent to which they are deflected by the field depends on their mass-to-charge ratio. Lighter ions will be deflected more than heavier ions, allowing for the separation and subsequent detection of ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. Magnetic sector mass spectrometers are particularly useful for high-resolution mass analysis and accurate determination of isotopic composition.
