FAB Outline:

·        Adding a schematic of FAB

·        Advantages compared to mass spec including how the sample does not have to be in the form of a gas which can compromise the sample. FAB also has a higher mass range. Can also be compared to other ionization techniques like field ionization and Chemical ionization, another soft ionization technique

·        Positive Ion and Negative Ion FAB and their advantages compared to one another

·        Add to section already added concerning Static FAB vs. Flow FAB

o  Discuss signal to noise ratio

o  As well as other differences between them
