Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a quadrupole rod set ion trap wherein a potential field is created at the exit of the ion trap which decreases with increasing radius in one radial direction. Ions within the ion trap are mass selectively excited in a radial direction. Ions which have been excited in the radial direction experience a potential field which no longer confines the ions axially within the ion trap but which instead acts to extract the ions and hence causes the ions to be ejected axially from the ion trap.

Abstract: A nebuliser outlet (20) comprises one or more first channels (24), wherein the nebuliser outlet (20) is configured such that liquid received by the nebuliser outlet (20) can pass to one or more nebulisation regions via the one or more first channels (24), and one or more second channels (25), wherein the nebuliser outlet (20) is configured such that gas received by the nebuliser outlet (20) can pass to the one or more nebulisation regions via the one or more second channels (25). The one or more first channels (24) comprise a first portion (24a) and a second portion (24b), wherein the first portion (24a) comprises a tubular channel, and wherein the second portion (24b) comprises multiple channels, an annular channel, or a segmented annular channel. The one or more second channels (25) converge with the second portion (24b) at the one or more nebulisation regions.

Abstract: A method of selecting ions comprises selecting ions corresponding to a target ion of interest by separating analyte ions according to their ion mobility, isolating first ions of the analyte ions, separating the first ions according to their ion mobility, and isolating second ions of the first ions. Preferably, the separation is accomplished by using a cyclic or closed-loop separator.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry or ion mobility spectrometry is disclosed comprising: providing gas phase analyte in a vacuum housing; electrospraying a reagent solution outside of the vacuum housing so as to form charged droplets of reagent solution and/or reagent ions; conveying the charged droplets and/or reagent ions into the vacuum housing and reacting them with the analyte so as to form analyte ions; and analyzing the analyte ions with a mass analyzer and/or ion mobility analyzer. Reacting the droplets of reagent solution and/or reagent ions with the analyte in sub-atmospheric pressures improved the reaction conditions.
