โฆ Synopsis
A concise introduction is presented to the theory and application of quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry. The presentation of the theoretical treatment is based on a demonstration of the equivalence of the force acting on an ion in a quadrupole รeld and the force derived from the Mathieu equation ; this equivalence permits the application of the solutions of Mathieuรs equation to the conรnement of gaseous ions. Resonant excitation, collision-induced dissociation, mass spectrometry, tandem mass spectrometry and chemical ionization are discussed in the context of analytical applications. Sample calculations of the trapping parameters and the axial secular frequency, q z b z , mass range, mass range extension and the magnitude of the potential well depth are given.

This paper is a presentation of recent key developments in quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry. These key developments have been made in three areas; namely, the trapping of ions generated externally to the ion trap, the fine control of the trajectories of ions confined within the ion trap, and th

Experiments to perform mass spectrometry with ion traps of submillimeter dimension are described. Several trap geometries amenable to microfabrication have been explored. In these experiments, vaporphase molecules were ionized by a pulse from a frequency-quadrupled Nd:YAG laser. The ions were trappe
