Like other mass spectrometers, ESI-mass spectrometer is also composed of three basic components, for example, ion source, mass analyzer, and detector (see Figure 2). The intact molecular ions (not truly ions, see later) are produced in the ionization chamber where the ion source is kept, and then they are transferred in the mass analyzer region via several ion optics (electromagnetic elements like skimmer, focusing lens, multipole, etc.), which are basically kept to focus the ion stream to maintain a stable trajectory of the ions. The mass analyzer sorts and separates
