Its hard to find prices since you almost always need a quote to see the cost from a company. It also depends on what type of MS you are looking at and there are even MS/MS instruments (its basically what it looks like - two mass specs together).



Basically the price range will start at 100k



100,000 - quadrupole MS


100,000 - ion trap MS


300,000-500,000 - quadrupole-Time-of-flight MS/MS or TOF-TOF MS/MS


800,000 - Fourier transform MS



There are other types out there which could increase the price, like automated systems and expensive ionization techniques

The cost of a mass spectrometer can vary widely depending on the type, manufacturer, and specifications. Entry-level, basic models can start around $50,000 to $100,000, while high-end, advanced models with specialized features can range from $500,000 to several million dollars. It is advisable to contact vendors or manufacturers directly for accurate and up-to-date pricing information.
