Beam mass spectrometer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001166",
  "term": "Beam mass spectrometer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of mass spectrometer where ions are generated, accelerated, and then separated based on their mass-to-charge ratio while traveling as a collimated beam through a vacuum system. This design allows for precise control over ion trajectories and high mass resolution. Examples include magnetic sector and quadrupole mass spectrometers.",
