Summary The quest to determine the composition of gas This article examines developments in quadrupole mass spectrometers over the past 30 years. It looks into the changing footprint of devices as well as at software and communication interfaces. It also introduces the advantages of modern compact devices, such as improved detection limits, integrated total pressure measurement and multiple interfaces. The outlook discusses the potential further development of operating software that may be replaced by a web application and the continuing miniaturization of devices.
