Liquid Chromatograph- Mass Spectrometer

1. Introduction of total HPLC effluent into MS is feasible.

a) True
b) False

Answer: b

Explanation: Introduction of total HPLC effluent into MS is not feasible. The simplest method is
the introduction of liquid from LC to the MS ion source region.

2. The gas burden from conventional LC flow rates creates nearly _____ times more gas
than cryo-pumped vacuum system can handle.

a) 5

4. Which of the following is the most commonly used interface?


ru

a) Nebulizer
st

b) Chopper
In

c) Filter
d) Vapourising chamber

Answer: a

Explanation: Nebulizer is the most commonly used interface. The nebulizer gas and the make-
up gas are introduced coaxially into the heated nebulization region.

5. Only ______ percent of the effluent of the liquid chromatography must be introduced
in the mass spectrometer.

a) 1-2
b) 1-5
c) 1-20
b) 1-15

Answer: b

Explanation: Only 1-5 percent of the effluent of the liquid chromatography must be introduced
in the mass spectrometer. Therefore, the total effluent must be split.

Explanation: The ions are focussed and de-clustered through a dry nitrogen region. It is then
sent into the high vacuum analyser.

8. The ions are passed into the high vacuum analyser through which of the following?

a) Orifice
b) Nozzle
c) Nebulizer
d) Venturi tube

Answer: a

Explanation: The ions are sent into the high vacuum analyser through an orifice. It is then
mass analysed.
