[00212] An electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometer analysis systems include an ESI device with at least one emitter configured to electrospray ions and a mass spectrometer in fluid communication with the at least one emitter of the ESI device. The mass spectrometer includes a mass analyzer held in a vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber is configured to have a high (background/gas) pressure of about 50mTorr or greater during operation. During operation, the ESI device is configured to either; (a) electrospray ions into a spatial region external to the vacuum chamber and at atmospheric pressure adjacent to an inlet device attached to the vacuum chamber, wherein the inlet device intakes the electrosprayed ions external to the vacuum chamber with the mass analyzer and discharges the ions into the vacuum chamber with the mass analyzer; or (b) electrospray ions directly into the vacuum chamber with the mass analyzer.

A radio frequency (RF) drive system and method for driving the ion trap or mass filter of a mass spectrometer has a programmable RF frequency source coupled to a RF gain stage. The RF gain stage is transformer coupled to a tank circuit formed with the ion trap or mass filter. The power of the RF gain stage driving the ion trap or mass filter is measured using a sensing circuit and a power circuit. A feedback value is generated by the power circuit that is used to adjust the RF frequency source. The frequency of the RF frequency source is adjusted until the power of the RF gain stage is at a minimum level.
摘要:
Collision induced dissociation of precursor ions in an ion trap is performed by determining a predicted fragmentation-optimized excitation voltage amplitude based on an indicator of damping gas pressure, such as a damping gas flow rate, and optionally other parameters including precursor ion m/z and an indicator of the Mathieu parameter q . The excitation voltage may then be applied to electrodes of the ion trap in steps of increasing amplitude, wherein at least one of the amplitudes corresponds to the predicted optimum value. Application of the excitation voltage in this manner produces favorable fragmentation efficiencies over a range of operating parameters and for ions of differing chemical properties.

A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a 2D or 3D ion trap. The 2D ion trap comprises a quadrupole rod set ion trap wherein a slot is provided in each of the rods 1 to allow ions to be ejected radially from the ion trap. The 3D ion trap comprises a central ring electrode which is radially segmented and wherein a slot is provided in each radial segment to allow ions to be ejected radially from the ion trap. Ions having different mass to charge ratios and/or opposite polarities may be simultaneously ejected from the ion trap via different exit pathways.

A scaled down version of a toroidal radio frequency (RF) ion trap mass analyzer operating with RF trapping voltages on the order of 1 kV p-p yet despite the reduced dimensions, retains roughly the same ion trapping volume as conventional 3D quadrupole ion traps , wherein the curved geometry enables construction of a compact mass analyzer and easy interface with conventional electron multipliers.

In a method and apparatus for adjusting a composite electric field to be applied to an ion trap to accommodate switching the operation of the ion trap between a positive ion mode and a negative ion mode, the composite electric field includes a plurality of component fields including at least one AC trapping field and one or more supplemental AC fields. A phase of one or more of the component fields is adjusted such that a force imparted by the composite field to a negative ion in the ion trap will be substantially the same as the force imparted by the composite field to a positive ion in the ion trap.
