    Abstract: The invention relates to reducing harmonic signals in FT-ICR spectra. Since harmonic signals in quadrupolar 2ω-detection can be more abundant for the same ion motion in the ICR cell as compared to harmonic signals in classical dipolar 1ω-detection, they could hitherto not be reduced to satisfactory levels by any known method, such as gated deflection during ion introduction into, and correcting for an offset electric field axis in the ICR cell. The present disclosure foresees, in addition to other methods carried out for improving the measurement conditions as the case may be, performing the quadrupolar 2ω-detection at least twice, where the phase of the ion excitation radio frequency is turned by 180° in the second measurement. From the sum transient, a Fourier-transformed spectrum is derived. As a result, the broad band spectra of complex substance mixtures like crude oil become cleaner, and misinterpretations of false (harmonic) peaks are minimized.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing ions in a magnetic ion trap are provided herein. In accordance with various aspects of the present teachings, the methods and systems described herein enable Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry across relatively narrow gap magnetic fields substantially perpendicular to the axis along which the ions are injected into the ion trap. As a result, smaller, less expensive magnets can be used to produce the high-intensity, uniform magnetic fields utilized in high performance FT-ICR/MS applications. Accordingly, the present teachings enable permanent magnets (as well as electromagnets) to generate these magnetic fields, potentially reducing the cost, size, and/or complexity of the systems described herein relative to conventional FT-ICR systems.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for measuring m/z ratios of ions in ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass spectrometry. The described ion traps for ICR mass spectrometry are distinct from the previous configurations by having one or many narrow aperture (flat) detection electrodes that could be moved radially inward the ICR trap, for example on the plane where radiofrequency excitation potential is minimal, closer to the post-excitation ion trajectories.

    Abstract: The invention describes an ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass spectrometer with an ICR trap, the ICR trap having as trapping electrodes two ion reflecting electrode structures operated by RF voltages without any DC voltage. The usual apertured ion trapping electrodes are replaced by multitudes of structural elements, electrically conducting, and repeating spatially in one or two directions of a surface, neighboring structure elements being connected each to different phases of an RF voltage. In the simplest case a grid of parallel wires can be used. The surface of such structures reflects ions of both polarities, if the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions is higher than a threshold.

    Abstract: An ion separation instrument includes an ion source coupled to at least a first ion mobility spectrometer having an ion outlet coupled to a mass spectrometer. Instrumentation is further included to provide for passage to the mass spectrometer only ions defining a preselected ion mobility range. In one embodiment, the ion mobility spectrometer is provided with electronically controllable inlet and outlet gates, wherein a control circuit is operable to control actuation of the inlet and outlet gates as a function of ion drift time to thereby allow passage therethrough only of ions defining a mobility within the preselected ion mobility range. In another embodiment, an ion trap is disposed between the ion mobility spectrometer and mass spectrometer and is controlled in such a manner so as to collect a plurality of ions defining a mobility within the preselected ion mobility range prior to injection of such ions into the mass spectrometer. In yet another embodiment, an ion inlet of the ion trap may be electronically controlled relative to operation of the ion mobility spectrometer as a function of ion drift time to thereby allow passage therein only of ions defining a mobility within the preselected ion mobility range. The mass spectrometer is preferably a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance mass spectrometer, and the resulting ion separation instrument may further include therein various combinations of ion fragmentation, ion mass filtering, ion trap, charge neutralization and/or mass reaction instrumentation.
