    摘要: 質量分析装置は、質量フィルタと、検波ユニットと、打消回路と、電源装置とを備える。質量フィルタは、印加された交流電圧に対応する質量電荷比を有するイオンを選択する。検波ユニットは、各々が整流素子を含みかつ並列に接続された複数の整流部を有し、質量フィルタに印加される交流電圧を検波電圧として検波する。打消回路は、整流素子の漏れ電流に起因する交流電圧のオフセットを打ち消す。電源装置は、検波電圧に基づいて、打消回路によりオフセットが打ち消された交流電圧を質量フィルタに印加する。

    摘要: In one aspect, a method of performing mass spectrometry is disclosed, which comprises ionizing a sample to generate a plurality of precursor ions, passing the precursor ions through a mass filter to select at least one subset of the ions, introducing the selected ions into a branched radiofrequency (RF) ion trap and subjecting at least a portion of said selected precursor ions to fragmentation within the ion trap so as to generate a first plurality of fragment ions. The method can further include isolating at least a portion of the first plurality of fragment ions in at least one branch of the branched RF ion trap, removing unwanted fragment ions, releasing the remaining ions from said at least one branch and subjecting at least a portion thereof to fragmentation so as to generate a second plurality of fragment ions. Any combination of collision induced dissociation (CID) and electron activation dissociation (EAD) can be employed for fragmenting the ions.

    摘要: An apparatus for ion manipulation having improved duty cycle includes first and second separation regions separated by a switch that alternates between guiding ions to each of the separation regions. The separation regions separate the ions based on mobility over respective time periods that at least partially overlap. The apparatus can additionally or alternatively include a pre-separation region that filters ions prior to accumulating ions, thus allowing an accumulation region to accumulate for a longer time period. The apparatus can additionally or alternatively include a plurality of gates along the separation region(s) to simultaneously filter a plurality of ion packets sequentially released into the separation region(s). Methods for ion manipulation having improved duty cycle involve separating ions on two separation regions over first and second time periods that at least partially overlap, pre-filtering ions prior to accumulation and separation, and/or simultaneously filtering a plurality of ions packets are also provided.
