Abstract
AN A.E.I. MS2 mass spectrometer has been modified to sample ions from flames burning at atmospheric pressure. The spectrometer is of the 90° sector magnet type. The flame ions after traversing the magnetic field are collected on an electrode plate subsequent to passing through a twelve-stage Allen type electron multiplier. The system enables ion currents at the collector as small as 10−15 amp. to be measured.
