Which Is NOT True of Mass Spectrometers

question 15

Multiple Choice

Which is NOT true of mass spectrometers?

• A)Double-focusing mass spectrometers couple an electric sector to a magnetic sector to increase the resolution to ~10⁵.
• B)Transmission quadrupole mass spectrometers select ions by applying a constant voltage and a radio-frequency oscillating voltage to the four parallel metal rods.
• C)Orbitrap mass spectrometers do not require magnetic or radio-frequency fields to measure m/z.
• D)Quadrupole mass spectrometers operate at constant resolving power.
• E)The time-of-flight mass spectrometer employs a reflectron to group ions with the same m/z,regardless of initial kinetic energy.

Definitions:

Level Scheduling

A production strategy that aims to maintain a consistent production rate or workload, smoothing out peaks and troughs in demand to optimize operations.

Pure Chase Strategy

A production strategy where the production rate is adjusted to match demand, minimizing inventory levels at the cost of potentially greater adjustment costs.

Part-Time Workers

Employees who work less than the standard full-time hours, typically offering flexibility and cost savings for businesses while accommodating the workers' other commitments.

Full-Time Workers

Employees who work the full number of hours defined as standard for a certain period, typically characterized by a fixed schedule.
