INLET SYSTEM:
The selection of a sample inlet depends upon the sample and the
sample matrix. Most ionization techniques are designed for gas phase
molecules so the inlet must transfer the analyte into the source as a gas
phase molecule. If the analyte is sufficiently volatile and thermally
stable, a variety of inlets are available. Gases and samples with high
vapor pressure are leaked directly into the source region by the help of
mercury manometer. Liquids and solids are usually heated to increase
the vapor pressure for analysis. Liquid samples are handled by
hypodermic needles injection through a silicon rubber dam If the
analyte is thermally labile (it decomposes at high temperatures) or if it
does not have a sufficient vapor pressure, the sample must be directly
ionized from the condensed phase.
1. Ion Source: For producing gaseous ions from the substance being
studied.
2. Analyzer: For resolving the ions into their characteristics mass
components according to their mass-to-charge ratio.
3. Detector System: For detecting the ions and recording the
relative abundance of each of the resolved ionic species.
