Implementation of an In-line Surface-induced Dissociation Device in a Quadrupole Time-of-flight Instrument and Its Performance

The focus of this dissertation is the introduction of surface-induced dissociation (SID) into a commercially available quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer as an alternative ion fragmentation method. The performance of the SID device was characterized and its applications were demonstrated by...
