Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique in the field of life sciences. The technique is used to identify unknown compounds and components in a given sample and quantify known compounds, by using electrons. Mass spectrometry employs charged electrons which, after entering the given sample, convert the contents of the sample into positive ions. These ions are then separated based on their molecular mass. These positive ions can be manipulated using an external electric charge or magnetic field. The mass-to-charge ratio of different components of a simple or complex sample is measured to identify and quantify components of the sample. The three basic principles of mass spectrometry are: measuring relative molecular masses of compounds, understanding fragmentation of molecules, and comparing the mass-to-charge ratios of various compounds, in order to identify unknown compounds in the given sample.
Increasing usage of the mass spectrometry technique, especially in the life sciences industry including pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, and other disciplines; rising demand for new and advanced instruments and equipment from end-users across the world; increasing focus on research and development in the health care industry leading to rise in investments in R&D by major market players and regional governments; and growing number of contract research organizations (CROs) are some of the factors driving the demand for new and advanced mass spectrometers. This, in turn, is expected to augment the global Mass Spectrometry Market from 2017 to 2025. However, high cost of the technique and increase in the number of substitute analytical tools for life science applications, wherein growing number of innovative products are being offered by market players, are some of the major factors restraining the global mass spectrometry market.
