Real-Time Monitoring of Chemical Reactions Using a Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

User Benefits

- The progress of chemical reactions can be accurately determined by real-time tracking of the mass information of components related to the reactions. - Direct injection is performed by flow injection, so the chemical reactions can be continuously monitored at 1-minute intervals.

Introduction

In the chemical field, tracking the reaction process or the reaction speed of synthesis reactions is important for accurately determining what chemical reactions have occurred. This Application News describes an example of real-time monitoring of chemical reactions using flow injection and a single quadrupole LC-MS. By injecting samples using flow injection, chemical reactions can be continuously monitored at 1-minute intervals. When the chemical reactions are fast and it is necessary to monitor at intervals shorter than 1 minute, the combination of probe electrospray ionization (PESI) and the mass spectrometer introduced in Application News No. eC159 is useful. By combining both methods, the chemical reactions can be monitored in more detail.
