could this be used to analyize chems and at least get a rough idea of their contents?
my chemistry is a bit rusty but I'm willing to brush up if this is feasible.

this is only the interface to the mass spec, it is the front part used to introduce sample into the mass spec

thought that might be the case. what's the cheapest you can realistically purchase one for?
and my previous questions? any ideas?

i've seen them for $2000-$200,000, including the workstation (computer with software to control the instrument), on e.bay. you'll also need a roughing (aka backing pump) pump, a rotary vane vacuum pump used inline to supplement the turbomolecular pump inside the mass spec. these can run you anywhere from $200-$5000. you'll also need to consider
inert gas suppies, like tanks filled with ultra-high purity nitrogen (99.99999% pure...5 nines following the decimal, very important). reagents should be of HPLC-grade purity.
as you can see, it's not a cheap endeavor; if you pursue it, consider starting a legitimate business to cover the costs.

ultra-high purity N2? it has to be grade 5.
anything lower will throw the detector out of calibration.
these machines are extremely sensitive.

ok so purchasing one is not happening 
do you guys know if by any chance their are labs you can send stuff to get tested?

Ecstasydata.org or energycontrol.org are both good.
Ecstasydata is a bit more restricted in what it can release about samples & a bit more costly but is u.s. Based & accepts cash payments anonymously through the mail.
Energy control is in spain & only accepts bitcoin, but can quantify samples. They are cheaper as well.
