    摘要: Apparatus and methods for performing charge detection mass spectrometry are disclosed. An analyte ion is injected into an electrostatic trap, which has electrodes shaped and arranged to establish a trapping field that causes the analyte ion to undergo harmonic motion along a longitudinal axis. A time-varying signal is generated by a detector representative of the harmonic motion. A data system processes the time-varying signal to derive the frequency of ion motion and the amplitude at the harmonic motion frequency, and determines the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of the ion based on the derived frequency and the charge from the derived amplitude. The product of the experimentally determined m/z and charge yields the mass of the analyte ion. The electrodes preferably include an elongated inner electrode surrounded by an outer electrode, forming an orbital or non-orbital electrostatic trap.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer includes a radio frequency ion trap; and a controller. The controller is configured to cause an ion population to be injected into the radio frequency ion trap; supply a first isolation waveform to the radio frequency ion trap for a first duration, and supply a second isolation waveform to the radio frequency ion trap for a second duration. The first isolation waveform has at least a first wide notch at a first mass-to-charge ratio, and the second isolation waveform has at least a first narrow notch at the first mass-to-charge ratio. The first and second isolation waveforms are effective to isolate one or more precursor ions from the ion population.
