    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a mass filter for separating ions according to their mass to charge ratio. The mass filter comprises a plurality of electrodes wherein ions are radially confined within the mass filter by the application of AC or RF voltages to the electrodes. One or more transient DC voltages or one or more transient DC voltage waveforms are progressively applied to the electrodes so that ions having a certain mass to charge ratio are separated from other ions having different mass to charge ratios which remain radially confined within the mass filter.

    摘要: A method is disclosed of identifying parent ions by matching daughter ions found to be produced at substantially the same time that the parent ions elute from a mixture. Ions emitted from an ion source are incident upon a collision cell which alternately and repeatedly switches between a first mode wherein the ions are substantially fragmented to produce daughter ions and a second mode wherein the ions are not substantially fragmented. Mass spectra are taken in both modes, and at the end of an experimental run parent and daughter ions are recognized by comparing the mass spectra obtained in the two different modes. Daughter ions are matched to particular parent ions on the basis of the closeness of fit of their elution times, and this enables parent ions to then be identified.

    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: An improved method of parent ion scanning is disclosed. In one embodiment a quadrupole mass filter 3 upstream of a collision cell 4 is arranged to operate in a highpass mode. Parent ions transmitted by the mass filter 3 are fragmented in the collision cell 4 and detected by an orthogonal time of flight analyser 5 which obtains a daughter ion mass spectrum. Ions having a mass to charge ratio below the cutoff of the mass filter 3 are identified as daughter ions, and candidate parent ions may then be discovered and their identity confirmed by obtaining corresponding daughter ion spectra. In a second embodiment, the collision cell 4 alternates between high and low fragmentation and candidate parent ions can additionally be identified on the basis of the loss of a predetermined ion or neutral particle.

    摘要: The invention provides methods and apparatus for tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in which parent ions generated from a sample are passed through a mass filter (2) and are fragmented into daughter ions in fragmentation means (3), the daughter ions being passed through a discontinuous output mass analyser, such as a time-of-flight analyzer (16) or an ion storage device (29). The range of possible parent mass-to-charge ratios is split into a plurality of smaller ranges, and the mass filter (2) is set to pass ions of each smaller range in turn. A flag is set for each smaller range which produces daughter ions of interest, and the mass filter (2) is set to pass each mass-to-charge ratio of the flagged ranges so that the mass-to-charge ratios of the fragmented ions produced for each of the mass-to-charge ratios passed may be determined using the discontinuous analyser (16, 29). The flagged ranges may be themselves split into a plurality of still smaller ranges, which are correspondingly flagged.

    摘要: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein ions are trapped for a period of time T within an AC or RF ion guide maintained at a pressure P wherein the product P×T is at least 1 mbar-ms. The effect of trapping the ions according to a preferred embodiment is that singly charged ions which may, for example, comprise unwanted background ions are substantially lost from the trap whereas multiply charged analyte ions are maintained within the ion trap and can then be released for subsequent mass analysis.
