A novel inductively coupled plasma/selected-ion flow tube (ICP/SIFT) mass s
pectrometer has been constructed for the study of the kinetics and product
distributions of reactions of atomic and atomic oxide ions with neutral mol
ecules. The ICP essentially provides a universal source for atomic ions. Th
e operation of the instrument is demonstrated with prototype reactivity and
kinetic measurements. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
