Increased Fragmentation in Methane Chemical Ionization in the Ion Trap Detector
The Ion Trap Detector (ITD) is being increasingly demonstrated as a versatile design, allowing electron impact (EX) and chemical (CI) ionization, and even the promise of MS/MS capability. Laboratories are beginning to utilize the design as a low-cost alternative to the familiar quadruple mass filter. In many cases, spectra from an ITD are virtually identical to those produced in a quadrupole mass spectrometer, but this cannot always be assumed. This report presents a significant example of CI mass spectra using a ITD which are totally unlike those from a conventional instrument. The example here is the methane CI mass spectrum of tetradecane, although the mass spectra of all n-alkanes which we have examined with the ITD show the same characteristics.
