    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) arranged upstream of a collision or fragmentation cell (8). Ions are separated according to their ion mobility within the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6). The kinetic energy of the ions exiting the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) is increased substantially linearly with time in order to optimise the fragmentation energy of ions as they enter the collision or fragmentation cell (8). During the time that the potential of the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) is being varied, the potential of ion-optical components upstream of the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) such as an ion source (1), ion guide (2), quadrupole mass filter (3), optional second collision or fragmentation cell (4) and an ion trapping device (5) are kept constant.

    摘要: A mass analyzer (2) is provided comprising a plurality of electrodes having apertures through which ions are transmitted in use. A plurality of seudo-potential corrugations are created along the axis of the mass analyzer (2). The amplitude or depth of the pseudo-potential corrugations is inversely proportional to the mass to charge ratio of an ion. One or more transient DC voltages are applied to the electrodes of the mass analyzer (2) in order to urge ions along the length of the mass analyzer (2). The amplitude of the transient DC voltages applied to the electrodes is increased with time and ions are caused to be emitted from the mass analyzer (2) in reverse order of mass to charge ratio.

    摘要: An ion detector system for a mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion detector comprising an array of detector elements. The ion detector system is arranged to correct for tilt and non-linear aberrations in an isochronous plane of ions. The ion detector system generates separate first mass spectral data sets for each detector element and then applies a calibration coefficient to each of the first mass spectral data sets to produce a plurality of second calibrated mass spectral data sets. The plurality of second calibrated mass spectral data sets are then combined to form a composite mass spectral data set.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a first storage ion trap arranged upstream of a high performance analytical ion trap. According to an embodiment ions are simultaneously scanned from both the first and second ion trap. At any instant in time the quantity of charge present within the second ion trap is limited or restricted so that the second ion trap does not suffer from space charge saturation effects and hence the performance of the second ion trap is not degraded.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an Electron Transfer Dissociation cell. Positive analyte ions are fragmented into fragment ions upon colliding with singly charged negative reagent ions with the cell. The cell comprises a plurality of ring electrodes which form a spherical trapping volume. Ions experience negligible RF heating over the majority of the trapping volume which enables the kinetic energy of the analyte and reagent ions to be reduced to just above thermal temperatures. An Electron Transfer Dissociation cell having an enhanced sensitivity is thereby provided. Fragment ions created within the cell may be cooled and may be transmitted onwardly to an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser enabling a significant improvement in the resolution of the mass analyser to be obtained.

    摘要: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein voltage signals from an ion detector are analyzed. A second differential of each voltage signal is obtained and the start and end times of observed voltage peaks are determined. The intensity and average time of each voltage peak is then determined and the intensity and time values are stored. An intermediate composite mass spectrum is then formed by combining the intensity and time values which relate to each voltage peak observed from multiple experimental runs. The various pairs of time and intensity data are then integrated to produce a smooth continuum mass spectrum. The continuum mass spectrum may then be further processed by determining the second differential of the continuum mass spectrum. The start and end times of mass peaks observed in the continuum mass spectrum may be determined. The intensity and mass to charge ratio of each mass peak observed in the continuum mass spectrum may then determined. A final discrete mass spectrum comprising just of an intensity value and mass to charge ratio per species of ion may then be displayed or output.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a quadrupole rod set ion guide or mass filter device. Broadband frequency-signals (13, 14, 15) having a plurality of frequency notches (16a; 16b; 16c) are applied sequentially to the rods of the quadrupole rod set. The notched broadband frequency signals (16a, 16b, 16c) cause undesired ions to be resonantly or parametrically ejected from the ion guide. The resulting ion signals are deconvoluted to provide a mass spectrum.
