 Helium mass spectrometer

A helium mass spectrometer is an analytical instrument that utilizes mass spectrometry techniques to detect and quantify helium or other gases, often in trace amounts. The primary function of a mass spectrometer is to separate ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). Here’s an overview of how a helium mass spectrometer works and its applications: ### Functioning Principles: 1. **Ionization**: The gas sample (which may contain helium) is introduced into the mass spectrometer.
