    摘要: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein a signal output from an ion detector is digitised by an Analogue to Digital Converter and is then deconvoluted to determine one or more ion arrival times and one more ion arrival intensities. The process of deconvoluting the ion signal involves determining a point spread function characteristic of an ion arriving at and being detected by the ion detector. A distribution of ion arrival times which produces a best fit to the digitised signal is then determined given that each ion arrival is assumed to produce a response given by the point spread function. A plurality of ion arrival times are then combined to produce a composite ion arrival time-intensity spectrum.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein an ion signal is split into a first and second signal. The first and second signals are multiplied by different gains and are digitised. Arrival time and intensity pairs are calculated for both digitised signals and the resulting time and intensity pairs are combined to form a high dynamic range spectrum. The spectrum is then combined with other corresponding spectra to form a summed spectrum.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein an ion beam attenuator is arranged upstream of an ion trap mass analyser. An ion tunnel ion trap comprising an upstream ion accumulation section and a downstream ion accumulation section is arranged upstream of the ion beam attenuator. Ions are released from the ion tunnel ion trap and the intensity of the ion beam which is transmitted to the ion trap analyser is controlled by the ion beam attenuator. The fill time during which ions are admitted into the ion trap mass analyser remains substantially constant and is substantially independent of the intensity of the ion beam.

    摘要: A linear ion trap (6,7,8)is disclosed comprising a central quadrupole rod set (6)and a post-filter quadrupole rod set (8). A 180° phase difference is maintained between axially adjacent rod electrodes of the central quadrupole rod set (6) and the post-filter quadrupole (8) so that an axial pseudo-potential barrier is created between the central quadrupole rod set (6) and the post-filter quadrupole (8). A supplementary AC voltage is applied to the rods of the central quadrupole (6) in order to radially excite ions which are desired to be ejected from the ion trap. The ions are ejected from the ion trap (6,7,8) non-adiabatically in an axial direction.
