For separate concentration identification of molecules having identical molecular mass, the gas mixture is ionized with primary ions that have an internal energy slightly above that required for generating product ions representing the respective type of molecule of interest and that have a pulse energy of such an amount that the kinetic effect on the ionization is negligible in comparison to the influence of the internal energy. The mass-spectrometric investigation then supplies the sought concentration of the individual type of molecule in a simple and precise fashion. |
