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.
They have the same mass/charge ratio.
because the species have the same m/z value (mass to charge ratio)
yes this is an impotent method for focusing the spectrometer in-order to obtain the appropriate readings.
An investigatory project is a planned experiment for the purposes of research. One investigatory project using a spectrometer would be to use the instrument in order to determine the glucose levels of different types of foods.
The gram already is a unit of mass.
A very accurate mass spectrometer is needed.
Isotopes (of the same element) have different mass, this is measured by the mass spectrometer
spectrometer
Actually in mass spectrometer the isotopes of an element are separated by applying magnetic field.Each isotope is then compared with carbon-12 to get the atomic mass of that isotope.
Das Volkswagen?
no, the mass spectrometer.
Using mass spectrometer, one can identify and/or separate the isotopes of the elements and also predict its composition in a given mixture.
