What Does EIMS Stand For?

EIMS stands for Electron Impact Mass Spectrometry

EIMS, or Electron Impact Mass Spectrometry, is a sophisticated analytical technique used to identify and quantify chemical compounds by measuring their mass-to-charge ratio. In this method, electrons are fired at gas-phase molecules, resulting in the fragmentation of the molecules and the generation of positive ions. These ions are then analyzed by a mass spectrometer, providing detailed information about the molecular weight and structure of the compounds. EIMS is widely employed in various fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science, to support research and quality control processes.
