Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry or ion mobility spectrometry is disclosed in which analyte ions of a desired charge state are isolated. The method comprises: separating analytes according to their electrophoretic mobility; ionising the analytes; and mass filtering the resulting analyte ions, wherein the mass to charge ratios of the ions transmitted by a mass filter are varied as a function of the electrophoretic mobility and according to a predetermined relationship such that substantially only ions having said desired charge state are transmitted by the mass filter.

Abstract: An ion trapping system is disclosed comprising an ion urging system for urging ions to spread out within an ion trapping region. Alternatively, the ion trapping system may deflect ions such that ions enter the ion trapping region at different locations. Alternatively, an ion deflector may be arranged upstream of, or at the entrance to, the ion trapping region, for deflecting ions such that ions enter the ion trapping region with different speeds so that the ions spread out within the ion trapping region.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising: a) separating first ions or components of an analyte sample according to a physicochemical property other than ion mobility; b) separating said first ions or second ions formed from said components according to ion mobility; c) detecting the intensities of said first ions, or detecting the intensities of second ions formed from said components, or detecting the intensities of ions derived from said first or second ions; wherein the intensity of the ions detected at any given time is recorded together with an associated value of said physicochemical property and an associated value of said ion mobility so as to obtain spectral data; d) examining the intensities of the spectral data as a function of said ion mobility so as to detect an intensity peak in said spectral data, determining a discrete value of ion mobility for said peak, and defining a window of values of ion mobility that encompasses said discrete value; and e) filtering said spectral data so as to include only spectral data that has been associated with values of ion mobility that are within said window of ion mobility values.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a first device, a second device and a switch arranged and adapted: (i) to direct ions at a first time T1 to the first device and to substantially prevent ions from entering the second device; and (ii) to direct ions at a second later time T2 to the second device and to substantially prevent ions from entering the first device. At the first time T1 the second device may not be in an operational state to potentially optimally fragment, react, mass filter or otherwise process ions since the second device may be in a process of equilibration, changing state, re-filling, recharging, transition, replenishing, switching voltage or altering an operational parameter. Likewise, at the second time T2 the first device may not be in an operational state to potentially optimally fragment, react, mass filter or otherwise process ions since the first device may be in a process of equilibration, changing state, re-filling, recharging, transition, replenishing, switching voltage or altering an operational parameter.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising separating a first population of ions according to their ion mobility and selectively attenuating ions in the first population of ions in one or more ion mobility and/or drift time ranges so as to form a second population of ions. The step of selectively attenuating ions comprises applying a varying, increasing or decreasing attenuation factor to ions in different ion mobility and/or drift time ranges. The method further comprises separating the second population of ions according to their ion mobility.

Abstract: A method is disclosed comprising: trapping ions in an ion trap (40); applying a first force on the ions within the ion trap in a first direction, said force having a magnitude that is dependent upon the value of a physicochemical property of the ions; applying a second force on these ions in the opposite direction so that the ions separate according to the physicochemical property value as a result of the first and second forces; and then pulsing or driving ions out of one or more regions of the ion trap.

Abstract: A method of ionising a sample is disclosed comprising performing an initial experiment comprising: (i) adding one or more reagents to an analyte sample; (ii) varying the composition and/or concentration of the one or more reagents; (iii) ionising the analyte sample including the one or more reagents; (iv) determining the composition and/or concentration of the one or more reagents which results in a desired, improved or optimised ionisation or other condition or parameter for one or more analytes of interest; and (v) determining one or more first retention times or one or more first retention time windows for the one or more analytes of interest. The method then further comprises separating an analyte sample using a first separation device and during the course of a single experimental run or acquisition varying the composition and/or concentration of one or more reagents which are added to an eluent which emerges from the first separation device. The composition and/or concentration of the one or more reagents which are added to the eluent is varied at the one or more the first retention times or during the one or more the first retention time windows so that an ionisation or other condition or parameter for the one or more analytes of interest is as desired or is improved or optimised.
