[Present state and prospects for the development of medical mass spectrometry].

The Soviet-made mass-spectrometer, model MX-6202 has a number of features that distinguish it from foreign-made devices. The experience with its operation suggests it to be a promising piece of equipment in evaluating the state of gas exchange in the organism, the one that will find wide application in the medical practice. The progress of the mass-spectrometric technique clears the way for detailed, in-depth medical and medico-biological research.
