Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that ionizes chemical species and sorts ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio, enabling precise identification and quantification of compounds. In healthcare and research, it supports proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery, environmental testing, food safety, and clinical diagnostics. Key technologies include hybrid systems (e.g., triple quadrupole, Orbitrap) for high sensitivity and single mass spectrometry for targeted analysis. Instruments range from benchtop to standalone, with advancements in AI integration, automation, and high-resolution capabilities enhancing throughput and accuracy.
