The experimental arrangement of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer with multi-photon ionization and electron impact ionization is described. This set up was combined with a discharge flow reactor and a molecular beam sampling device. The detection of the radicals CH₃, C₃H₅, CH₂OH and their deuterated analogs by the wave-length selective multi-photon ionization allowed the identification of primary products of elementary reactions in the gas-phase (around 1 mbar).
