    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising at least first and second ion traps which are arranged in series. A relatively high AC or RF voltage is applied to the electrodes forming the first ion trap in order to improve the trapping of energetic or high mass to charge ratio ions. The relatively high AC or RF voltage applied to the first ion trap also has the effect of raising the low mass cut-off of the first ion trap. The second ion trap, arranged downstream of the first ion trap, is arranged to have a lower low mass cut-off than the first ion trap, and hence ions which are not trapped in the first ion trap are trapped in the second ion trap.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion trap wherein ions which have been temporally separated according to their mass to charge ratio or ion mobility enter the ion trap. Once at least some of the ions have entered the ion trap, a plurality of ion trapping regions are created along the length of the ion trap in order to fractionate the ions. Alternatively, the ions may be received within one or more axial trapping regions which are translated along the ion trap with a velocity which is progressively reduced to zero.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a mass selective ion trap such as a 3D quadrupole field ion trap upstream of a pusher electrode of an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser. According to a first embodiment bunches of ions are released from the ion trap and the pusher electrode is energized after a delay time which is progressively varied. According to a second embodiment ions are released from the ion trap in reverse order of mass to charge ratio with the ions having the largest mass to charge ratio being released first. By appropriate release of the ions from the ion trap it is possible to ensure that substantially all of the ions arrive at the pusher electrode at substantially the same time. According to both embodiments it is possible to achieve a duty cycle approaching 100% across a large range of mass to charge ratios.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein the experimentally determined mass to charge ratios of ions are reported together with an error band for each mass to charge ratio determination. The error band may, for example, reflect a 95% probability or confidence that the real, true, actual or accepted mass to charge ratio of the ion lies within the error band. By accurately determining the error band the possible candidate ions in a database can be accurately restricted whilst also guarding against over restriction.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein a relatively energetic pulse of ions having a relatively narrow spread of mass to charge ratios are ejected from a quadrupole ion trap and received in an ion trap upstream of a Time of Flight mass analyser. The ions are collisionally cooled within the ion trap and are pulsed out of the ion trap and into an extraction region of the Time of Flight mass analyser without substantially exciting the ions. This enables improved operation with the Time of Flight mass analyser. According to another embodiment, parent ions are fragmented and the resulting fragment ions are stored in two ion traps having different low mass cut-offs. The trapping system enables MS/MS experiments to be performed with a very high duty cycle.
