Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for charge state control of multiply-charged anions in a front end, high pressure ion guide. In some example aspects, a mass spectrometer system is provided comprising a first vacuum chamber (121) maintained at a pressure above about 500 mTorr. At least one ion guide (106) is disposed within the first vacuum chamber, the at least one ion guide comprising a plurality of rods extending along a central longitudinal axis. A controller (193) is configured to adjust an amplitude of an RF voltage signal provided to the plurality of rods so as to alternatively operate the ion guide in a first mode of operation with a lower amplitude of the RF voltage signal so as to reduce the likelihood of charge reduction by electron detachment so as to substantially maintain the isotopic distribution of the ions during transmission of ions through the ion guide, and a second mode of operation with a higher amplitude of the RF voltage signal so as to increase the likelihood of electron detachment from ions being transmitted therethrough.

Abstract: A method of identifying and/or characterising ions comprises separating analyte ions according to a first physico-chemical property (ion-mobility), selecting first ions of the analyte ions, and activating, fragmenting or reacting the first ions to produce first product ions, separating the first product ions according to the first physico-chemical property, and determining a pattern of the first product ions. The first ions are identified and/or characterised using the pattern of the first product ions.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the detailed analysis of ion mixtures from complex mixtures of organic substances in time-of-flight mass spectrometers which are equipped with a trapped ion mobility spectrometer, a quadrupole mass selector and a fragmentation cell. The invention proposes to analyze ion signals of a first mass mobility map, fragment ion spectra and the identifications of the associated substances as to whether ion mixtures not resolved according to mass and mobility, for example from isomers or isobars, are possibly present, and to subsequently measure the ion signals of interest with method parameters which allow the ion species to be measured separately by means of high mobility resolution.

Abstract: An m/z range of an ion beam is divided into two or more precursor ion mass selection windows. A pattern of two or more different window m/z ranges to be used during two or more successive cycles for at least one precursor ion mass selection window is determined. The pattern includes an initial window m/z range and one or more successively different window m/z ranges. Each of the one or more successively different window m/z ranges includes at least a portion of the initial window m/z range. A tandem mass spectrometer is instructed to select and fragment the two or more precursor ion mass selection windows during each cycle of a plurality of cycles and to repeatedly use the pattern for each group of two or more successive cycles of the plurality of cycles for the selection and fragmentation of the at least one precursor ion mass selection window.

Abstract: An ion transport optical system is disposed between a collision cell and an orthogonal acceleration unit. When releasing ions that are held in the collision cell, an accelerating electric field in which a large potential difference exists is created between an exit-side end of an ion guide and a first stage of the ion transport optical system, and a decelerating electric field in which a relatively small potential difference exists is created between a final stage of the ion transport optical system and an entrance end of the orthogonal acceleration unit. In the accelerating electric field, the velocity of ions is increased overall by imparting a large amount of energy to the ions, and spreading of ions in the ion travel direction that is caused by differences between the mass-to-charge ratios of the ions is reduced.
