The Magnetic Sector Advantage
The magnetic sector's most distinct and fundamental advantage compared to the quadrupole is its simplicity. This is the basis for its high reliability, high stability, excellent quantitative capability and field maintainability. Magnetic sector mass spectrometers excel at analyzing extreme low masses such as Hydrogen and Helium in part because of a lack of a "zero blast" effect which plagues quadrupoles and also because of greater resolution than quadrupoles. As the flight tube of a magnetic sector instrument is "field free", it is much less susceptible to contamination.
