β¦ Synopsis
The purpose of this study was to design a quadrupole secondary ion mass spectrometer for simultaneous detection of both positive and negative ions of different mass. An original setup based on a quadrupole electrostatic deflector configuration that allows energy and spatial separation of all types of secondary ions was proposed. The device was modeled using the SIMION 3D program before building the prototype. Trajectory and acceptance calculations were provided. Positive and negative secondary ion mass spectra for molybdenum test samples were obtained.

While positive and negative ions are created simultaneously in a quadrupole ion trap during electron ionization, there is a marked preponderance of the former species. With prolonged ionization and a relatively high concentration of substrate molecules, positive ion species of low mass/charge ratio

A numerical simulation method has been developed for the analysis of trapping ions injected into an ion trap mass spectrometer. This method was applied to clarify the effects of the following parameters on trapping efficiencies: (1) initial phase of the radio frequency (RF) drive voltage, (2) ion in
Accurate mass analysis at high resolution can be used to determine elemental compositions and is often essential for conclusive metabolite identification. Reference standards can play an important role in the success of the analysis. We have discovered that perfluorinated acid anhydride/fluorinated
