By knowing the RT for a given compound, we can make a few suspicions about the identity of the compound. Nonetheless, compounds that have comparative properties frequently have the same RT. In this manner, more data is generally required before the analyst can make a distinguishing proof of a compound in a specimen containing unidentified segments. 4.2. Mass spectroscopy
As the individual mixes elute from the GC segment, they enter the electron ionization (mass spec) detector. There, they are barraged with a flow of electrons making them separated into pieces. These fragments can be little bits of the first particles. The fragments are charged particles of a specific mass. The mass of the section partitioned by the charge is known as the mass to charge ratio (M/Z). Since most pieces have a charge of +1, the M/Z more often than not speaks to the sub-atomic weight of the piece.
A set of 4 electromagnets (called a quadrapole), concentrates each of the fragments through an opening and into the detecter. The quadrapoles are set up by the PC to coordinate just certain M/Z pieces through the opening. The rest bounce away. The PC has the quadrapoles burn through various M/Z's each one in turn until a scope of M/Z's are secured. This happens all the time. Every cycle of reaches is alluded to as an
