First sentence: Mass spectrometers. Ion optical devices that produce a beam of gas-phase ions from samples, mass spectrometers sort the resulting mixture of ions according to their mass-to-charge ratios or a derived property, and provide analog or digital output signals (peaks) from which the mass-to-charge ratio and intensity (abundance) of each detected ionic species may be determined.
