Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique used to measure known materials, to identify unknown compounds within a sample, and to evaluate the structure and chemical properties of different molecules. The technique ionizes chemical species and sorts the ions, based on their mass-to-charge ratio. Because of the high sensitivity of these techniques, mass spectroscopy has become a powerful analytical tool for testing in various industries.
Factors such as technological advancements in mass spectrometry, government initiatives for pollution control and environmental testing, increasing spending on pharmaceutical R&D across the globe, growing petrochemical industry, and growing focus on ensuring the quality of food products are expected to drive the growth of Mass Spectrometry Market.
