A mass spectrometer employing a molecular beam sampling system was constructed for the analysis of atoms and radicals in chemically reacting gases. It consists of a three stage differentially pumped vacuum system and a quadrupole massfilter as a detector. For analysing chemical species of low concentration, molecular beam is mechanically modulated and the signal-to-noise ratio of the modulated beam is improved by employing a data processing system. The constructed system is capable of analysing chemical species of low concentrations up to 8 ppm for a chemically stable species such as argon.
