CI-ITMS
Chemical Ionization – Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer

The Chemical Ionization – Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer (CI-ITMS) is a type of CIMS instrument. Ion Trap Mass Spectrometers are highly sensitive instruments, making them useful for studying atmospheric chemistry. CI-ITMS takes measurements of nitric acid and sulfur dioxide specifically.
