    摘要: A first mass spectrum and a second mass spectrum of the same ion sample can be analyzed to determine reaction pairs. These reaction pairs are determined based on a selected neutral difference by shifting the second mass spectrum by the neutral difference relative to the first mass spectrum to provide a shifted mass spectrum. Then, the shifted mass spectrum is compared with the first mass spectrum of the ion sample to determine the reaction pairs based on the neutral difference.

    摘要: The invention provides a multipole ion trap. The trap has a longitudinal axis. An oscillating on-axis potential is set up along the longitudinal axis, providing a potential well in which ions are trapped. In some embodiments, rods forming the poles are symmetrically and equidistantly positioned about the longitudinal axis and RF signal with different magnitudes are applied to the poles. In other embodiments, the rods are not positioned symmetrically about the longitudinal axis and the RF signals applied to the poles may have the same or different magnitudes. Poles used in the invention may include two or more rods. An ion trap according to the invention may include more than two poles, and in some embodiments, a third or additional pole may be added to provide the oscillating on-axis potential. The ion trap may be used mass selectively scan ions, fragment ions and to trap and separate differently charged ions, among other uses.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer has an ion source for producing sample ions. The ions pass through an ion interface, to a reaction/collision cell section. An ion-neutral decoupling device is provided between the ion interface and the reaction/collision cell section, to provide substantial separation between ions and neutral particles. The supersonic jet entering the spectrometer can have sufficient energy to cause the plasma gases, such as argon, to overcome the pressure differential between the reaction/collision cell and an upstream section of the spectrometer so as to penetrate into the reaction/collision cell; the decoupling device prevents this. The decoupling device can have offset apertures provided by plates or rods or other comparable arrangements, or can comprise a quadrupolar electrostatic deflector, an electrostatic sector deflector or a magnetic sector deflector.
