摘要： In a quadrupole ion store or ion trap type mass spectometer, significantly improved mass selection is achieved by simultaneously trapping ions within the mass range of interest and then scanning the applied RF and DC voltages or the frequency .omega. to sequentially render unstable trapped ions of consecutive specific masses. These are passed out through apertures in an end cap to a high gain electron multiplier to provide a signal indicative of the ion mass. Sensitivity and mass resolution is also enhanced by operating the ion trap at a relatively high pressure in the range 1.times.10.sup.-1 to 1.times.10.sup.-5 torr. The presence of collision gas molecules, such as helium, improves sensitivity and mass resolution. In addition, the structure itself is built of stacked units, sealed by O-rings, which are easily disassembled for cleaning.

摘要： A simple and economical method of mass analyzing a sample by means of a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer in an MS/MS mode comprises the steps of forming ions within a trap structure, changing the RF and DC voltages in such a way that the ions with mass-to-charge ratios within a desired range will be and remain trapped within the trap structure, dissociating such ions into fragments by collisions and increasing the field intensity again so that the generated fragments will become unstable and exit the trap volume sequentially to be detected. A supplementary AC field may be applied additionally to provide various scan modes as well as dissociate the ions.

摘要： A mass spectrometry method in which an improved field comprising two or more trapping fields having substantially identical spatial form is established and at least one parameter of the improved field is changed to excite selected trapped ions sequentially for detection. The changing improved field (preferably with a supplemental field superimposed therewith) can sequentially eject selected ones of the trapped ions from the improved field for detection. An improved field comprising two quadrupole trapping fields can be established in a region defined by the ring and end electrodes of a three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap, and the amplitude of an RF (and/or DC) component (and/or the frequency of the RF component) of one or both trapping fields can be changed to sequentially excite trapped ions. Preferably, a trapping field capable of storing ions having mass to charge ratio within a selected range is established, an improved field is established by superimposing the trapping field with a second trapping field of substantially identical spatial form, and a supplemental field is also superimposed with the trapping field to cause at least some of the trapped ions in the trap region to move away from the center of the trap region.

摘要： A mass spectrometry method in which notch-filtered noise is applied to an ion trap to resonate all ions except selected parent ions out of the region of the trapping field. Preferably, the trapping field is a quadrupole trapping field defined by a ring electrode and a pair of end electrodes positioned symmetrically along a z-axis, and the filtered noise is applied to the ring electrode(rather than to the end electrodes) to eject unwanted ions in radial directions (toward the ring electrode) rather than toward a detector mounted along the z-axis. Application of the filtered noise to the trap in this manner can significantly increase the operating lifetime of such an ion detector. Also preferably, the trapping field has a DC component selected so that the trapping field has both a high frequency and low frequency cutoff, and is incapable of trapping ions with resonant frequency below the low frequency cutoff or above the high frequency cutoff. Application of the filtered noise signal of the invention to such a trapping field is functionally equivalent to filtration of the trapped ions through a notched bandpass filter having such high and low frequency cutoffs. Application of filtered noise in accordance with the invention has several significant advantages over the conventional techniques it replaces, including avoidance of accumulation of contaminating ions during the process of storing desired parent ions, ejection of unwanted ions in directions away from an ion detector to enhance the detector's operating life, rapid ejection of unwanted ions having mass-to-charge ratio below a minimum value, above a maximum value, and outside a window (between the minimum and maximum values) determined by the filtered noise signal.

摘要： A method for generating a filtered noise signal, which includes the steps of generating a broadband signal having optimized (reduced or minimized) dynamic range, and filtering the broadband signal in a notch filter to generate a broadband signal whose frequency-amplitude spectrum has one or more notches (the "filtered noise" signal). In preferred embodiments, the filtered noise signal is a voltage signal suitable for application to an ion trap during a mass spectrometry operation. The invention enables rapid generation of different filtered noise signals (for use in different mass spectrometry experiments) by filtering a single, optimized broadband signal using a set of different notch filters, each having a simple, easily implementable design. The invention enables rapid generation of filtered noise signals (for example, in real time during mass spectrometry experiments) without prior knowledge of the mass spectrum of unwanted ions to be ejected from a trap during application of the filtered noise signal to the trap. The invention also enables rapid generation of a filtered noise signal having no missing frequency components outside the notches of the notch filter employed to generate the filtered noise signal. Digital values indicative of the amplitude, frequency, and phase of each sinusoidal (or other periodic) component of an optimized broadband signal can be iteratively generated by a digital computer in accordance with the invention, and the digital values can then be processed to generate an analog version of the optimized broadband signal.

摘要： A mass spectrometry method in which one or more high power supplemental AC voltage signals and one or more low power supplemental AC voltage signals are applied to an ion trap. The frequency of each supplemental AC voltage is selected to match a resonance frequency of an ion having a desired mass-to-charge ratio. The low power supplemental voltage signals are applied for the purpose of dissociating specific ions (i.e., parent ions) within the trap, and the high power supplemental voltage signals are applied to resonate products of the dissociation process (i.e., daughter ions) so that they can be detected. In one class of embodiments, the high power voltage signals resonate daughter ions out from the trap for detection by an external detector. In another class of embodiments, each high power voltage signal resonates the daughter ions only to a degree sufficient for detection by an in-trap detector (which may comprise one or more of the electrodes which define the trapping field, or may be mounted integrally with such electrodes).
