In which one of the following mass spectrometers does the fragmentation of ions take place after they have been separated by their m/z value in a first stage?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a tandem mass spectrometer, the ions are separated based on their m/z value in the first stage (usually a quadrupole or time-of-flight analyzer) and then undergo fragmentation in a second stage (usually a collision cell or ion trap). This allows for more precise identification and characterization of the compound being analyzed.
