Instrumental methods of analysis rely on machines.The visualization of single molecules, single biological cells, biological tissues and nanomaterials is very important and attractive approach in analytical science.
There are several different types of instrumental analysis. Some are suitable for detecting and identifying elements, while others are better suited to compounds. In general, instrumental methods of analysis are:
-Fast
-Accurate (they reliably identify elements and compounds)
-Sensitive (they can detect very small amounts of a substance in a small amount of sample)
Answer:
The experimental feature of the MALDI-MS technique which allows the separation of ions formed after the adduction of tissue molecules:
B) Velocity of ions depends on the ion mass-to-charge ratio.
Explanation:
- The option a is not correct as distance traveled by ions doesn't depend upon the ion charge rather it depends upon time for which you leave the sample to run.
- The option b is correct as velocity of ions depends on the ion mass-to-charge ratio because separation is done due to mass to charge ratio feature.
- The option c is incorrect as time of travel is not inversely proportional to the ion-to-mass ratio because the ion will move across the gel until you stop the electric field.
- The option d is not correct as electric field between MALDI plate and MS analyzer is though uniform but this feature doesn't allow the separation of ions.
The answer is chloroplast
