pulses and converts the information into a signal. The signal represents the ion
intensity for a particular m/z and the instrument displays this formation as a mass
spectrum. For more information, see Figure 1-2 Ion optics path.

The API 5000 system uses the Turbo V™ ion source to produce ions from liquid
samples. The Turbo V source can use either the TIS (TurboIonSpray
®
) probe or the
APCI (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization) probe. The instrument is
configured to perform complex MS/MS analysis, but for less rigorous analytical
requirements it can perform single MS scans.
