    摘要: During an accumulation time period of each time cycle of an ion guide and before a ramped AC voltage is applied to at least one set of axial rods to eject ions according to m/z value, a number of steps are performed. Ions are received from outside of the ion guide through an entrance aperture and into a first cell. A low DC voltage is applied to a barrier electrode to receive ions from the first cell into a second cell. And, a high DC voltage is applied to an exit electrode to prevent ions from exiting the ion guide. During a cooling time period before the AC time period, a high DC voltage is applied to the barrier electrode to trap and cool ions in the second cell and to continue to receive ions into the first cell without being affected by the ramped AC voltage.

    摘要: A method of carrying out mass spectrometry, comprising: using an electrostatic or electrodynamic ion trap to contain a plurality of ions, each ion having a mass to charge ratio, the ions having a first plurality of mass to charge ratios, each ion following a path within the electrostatic or electrodynamic ion trap having a radius; and for each of a second plurality of the mass to charge ratios: modulating the radii of the ions in a mass to charge ratio-dependent fashion dependent upon the mass to charge ratio; fragmenting the ions thus modulated in a radius-dependent fashion; and determining a mass spectrum of the ions.

    摘要: A method of producing a mass spectrum from a time-varying transient signal detected in a mass spectrometer, the method comprising: performing a Fourier transform of the transient signal to produce a first set of complex amplitudes wherein each of the complex amplitudes corresponds to a respective frequency of a first set of frequencies; generating a second set of complex amplitudes, wherein each of the complex amplitudes corresponds to a respective frequency of a second set of frequencies with a minimum spacing less than the inverse of the duration of the transient signal; optimizing the second set of complex amplitudes to produce an improved second set; generating a mass spectrum from at least some of the improved second set of complex amplitudes; wherein optimizing the second set of complex amplitudes to produce an improved second set of complex amplitudes is based on an objective function subject to some phase constraints.

    摘要: Mass analyzers and methods of ion detection for a mass analyzer are provided. An electrostatic field generator provides an electrostatic field causing ion packets to oscillate along a direction. A pulse transient signal is detected over a time duration that is significantly shorter than a period of the ion oscillation or using pulse detection electrodes having a width that is significantly smaller than a span of ion harmonic motion. A harmonic transient signal is also detected. Ion intensity with respect to mass-to-charge ratio is then identified based on the pulse transient signal and the harmonic transient signal.
