β¦ Synopsis
A new type of multi-turn time-of-flight mass spectrometer was constructed, consisting of four cylindrical electric sectors and 28 electric quadrupole lenses, the size of the vacuum chamber being 60 Γ 70 Γ 20 cm. It was demonstrated that the mass resolution can be increased according to the number of cycles of the ions through the ion optical system.

A matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-quadrupole ion trap/reΓectron time-of-Γight (MALDI-QIT/reTOF) mass spectrometer design and its operation in both normal and tandem mass spectrometric modes are described. A parabolic reΓectron was found to be capable of providing mass resolution of 5000
A miniaturized time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer utilizes an end-cap reflectron to achieve high kinetic energy focusing and improved mass resolution. However, the coaxial geometry gives rise to considerable losses in sensitivity resulting from reflected ion trajectories close to the center. The
High efficiency electrically driven separation techniques, such as capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC), yield narrow peak widths of the order of a few seconds. Scanning instruments may have difficulty in obtaining sufficient data points across such narrow p
