will discriminate between the masses of the ions present. There are three basic ion discriminating
instruments: the sector instrument, the quadrupole instrument or the time of flight spectrometer. The
quadrupole spectrometer is the most commonly used analyzer, but the time of flight mass spectrometer
has been improved to the point of becoming a worthy competitor. Other than NMR, mass spectrometry
is the best compromise between being the most informative identifying technique, and the most
sensitive for use in tandem with a separating instrument.
