    摘要: Ions in a predefined narrow mass to charge ratio range are isolated in an ion trap by adjusting the field and using ejection frequency waveform(s). The ejection waveforms have frequency components in a first and a second dimension, and, are applied across electrodes aligned along a first and a second dimension. Thus the mass-to-charge ratio isolation window is controlled and has an improved resolution without increasing the number of frequency components.

    摘要: A dual ion trap mass analyzer includes adjacently positioned first and second two-dimensional ion traps respectively maintained at relatively high and low pressures. Functions favoring high pressure (cooling and fragmentation) may be performed in the first trap, and functions favoring low pressure (isolation and analytical scanning) may be performed in the second trap. Ions may be transferred between the first and second trap through a plate lens having a small aperture that presents a pumping restriction and allows different pressures to be maintained in the two traps. The differential-pressure environment of the dual ion trap mass analyzer facilitates the use of high-resolution analytical scan modes without sacrificing ion capture and fragmentation efficiencies.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for data-dependent mass spectrometric MS/MS or MSn analysis are disclosed. The methods may include determination of the charge state of an ion species of interest, followed by automated selection of a dissociation type (e.g., CAD, ETD, or ETD followed by a non-dissociative charge reduction or collisional activation) based at least partially on the determined charge state. The ion species of interest is then dissociated in accordance with the selected dissociation type, and an MS/MS or MSn spectrum of the resultant product ions may be acquired.

    摘要: A method of mass analyzing a sample including the steps of defining a trap volume with a three-dimensional quadrupole field for trapping ions within a predetermined range of mass-to-charge ratio, forming or injecting ions within the trap volume such that those within the predetermined mass-to-charge ratio range are trapped within the trap volume, applying a supplementary AC field superimposed on the three-dimensional quadrupole field to form combined fields, scanning the combined fields to eject ions of consecutive mass-to-charge ratio from the trap volume for detection characterized in that the supplementary field has an amplitude just sufficient to eject the ions and that the supplementary field has a beta value below 0.891 and that the combined fields are scanned at a rate so that a length of time corresponding to 200 cycles or more of the supplementary AC field passes per consecutive thomson.

    摘要: A detector assembly has a current measuring device with a saturation threshold level, and a gain variation means. A signal is generated in response to the particles detected, a first data point corresponding to a peak of interest is acquired from the signal. If the first data point is near, at or above the saturation threshold level of the current measuring device, the gain of the gain variation means is adjusted such that the peak of interest in the signal is reduced in intensity.

    摘要: An aperture design for a linear ion trap is provided in which the aperture is optimized to minimize possible axial field inhomogeneities whilst preserving the structural integrity of the quadrupole rods. In general, the invention provides a linear ion trap for trapping and subsequently ejecting ions. The linear ion trap comprises a plurality of rods which define an interior trapping volume which has an axis extending longitudinally. One or more of the rods includes an aperture which extends both radially through the rod and longitudinally along the rod. The aperture being configured such that the ions can pass from the interior trapping volume through the aperture to a region outside the interior trapping volume. At least one recess is disposed adjacent the aperture, extending longitudinally along the rod and facing the interior trapping volume, the recess not extending radially through the rod.
