5. Ionization methods in mass spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS) breaks down molecules or combines ions with neutral molecules to form electrically charged assemblies that can be separated and identified according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) in an analyzer, as described in more detail in this treatise and .

Classically, the ion source is that part of the mass spectrometer which converts neutral molecules, introduced from a solid, liquid or gas, into positive or negative ions....
