    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: 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.
