Q-AMS
Quadrupole Aerosol Mass Spectrometer

The Quadrupole Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (Q-AMS) is an in situ mass spectrometer produced by Aerodyne Research. It is the quadrupole version of the AMS and is designed to provide real-time measurements of size-resolved aerosol, mass, and chemical composition. It can detect particles ranging from 30 to 1000 nm and typically has a time resolution of 5 minutes. Q-AMS can be used in laboratory, airborne, and field measurements.
