The review article is devoted to the mass spectrometry method of ionization of material by fast atom bombardment (FAB). The FAB method extends the possibilities of mass spectrometry by making it possible to obtain the mass spectra of nonvolatile, thermally unstable, and high-polarity compounds, which contain information on the molecular weight and the structure of the compounds studied. The mechanism of ion formation, the apparatus design, and also the main results of FAB mass spectrometric study of different classes of compounds are examined. This method is specially helpful in analysis of natural compounds.
