Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion mobility separator 4 for separating ions according to their ion mobility, one or more first devices or stages arranged upstream of the ion mobility separator and a control system. The control system is arranged and adapted to monitor directly or indirectly the operating environment within the ion mobility separator 4, and to control the operating environment within the ion mobility separator 4 based on the monitoring by controlling one or more gas flows to or within one or more of the one or more first devices or stages.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising transmitting ions and obtaining first mass spectral data and automatically determining during an acquisition whether the first mass spectral data suffers from saturation or is approaching saturation. If a determination is made during an acquisition that the first mass spectral data suffers from saturation or is approaching saturation then the method further comprises automatically changing or altering the intensity of ions which are detected by an ion detector and obtaining second mass spectral data. The method further comprises substituting one or more portions of the first mass spectral data with one or more corresponding portions of the second mass spectral data multiplied or scaled by an attenuation or scale factor and/or by an integer or other value so as to form a composite mass spectrum, wherein the composite mass spectrum comprises one or more ion peaks from the first mass spectral data and one or more ion peaks from the second mass spectral data.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising separating ions temporally in a first device and analysing the mass or mass to charge ratio of the ions or of product or fragment ions derived from the ions in a mass or mass to charge ratio analyser disposed downstream of the first device. The method further comprises obtaining a first set of drift times for the ions through the first device by measuring ion arrival times and determining the transit time of the ions and/or of the product or fragment ions through one or more intermediate regions or devices disposed between the first device and the mass to charge ratio analyser. The method further comprises obtaining a second set of drift times for the ions through the first device by correcting the first set of drift times to account for the determined transit times.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a glow discharge device within the initial vacuum chamber of the mass spectrometer. The glow discharge device may comprise a tubular electrode located within an isolation valve, which is provided in the vacuum chamber. Reagent vapour may be provided through the tubular electrode, which is then subsequently ionised by the glow discharge. The resulting reagent ions may be used for Electron Transfer Dissociation of analyte ions generated by an atmospheric pressure ion source. Other embodiments are contemplated wherein the ions generated by the glow discharge device may be used to reduce the charge state of analyte ions by Proton Transfer Reaction or may act as lock mass or reference ions.
