The thermo gravimetric analyzer with mass spectrometer performs the functions of the
TGA with the addition of a mass spectrometer to analyze the gases evolved from the
experiment. The Mass Spectrometer ionizes the molecules and passes them through a
quadrupole detector to detect the mass per charge for each molecule. From the ionization
process fragments may be created or molecules may be multiply ionized and all of these
components being detected creates a spectrum from which the identity of a compound
may be determined.
