Investigations on ion injection into a laboratory-built quadrupole/ion trap tandem instrument (Nermag R10-10/ITMS Finnigan) with a 90ร geometry are described. The quadrupole dual electron impact/chemical ionization (EI/CI) source was used as an external source to prepare ions under EI (or CI) condit

โฆ Synopsis
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 injection energy, and (3) RF peak voltage while injecting ions. The following conclusions were obtained by theoretical and simulation approaches. 1. The second and third dominant oscillations contribute significantly to the trapping mechanism of the injected ions, even for low q values. 2. A formula relating the operating parameters, which gives the maximum trapping efficiency, is derived. 3. Based on the above-mentioned formula, an advanced injection method is proposed, in which the RF peak voltage is decreased while injecting ions. The ability of this method to solve the problem of unequal sensitivity among different ion species is indicated by numerical simulation. Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A novel hybrid tandem mass analyzer, coupling a quadrupole ion trap with a quadrupole mass filter, has been constructed to permit mass analysis of ions ejected from the ion trap. The initial application of this instrument is the investigation of the origin of mass shifts in the ion trap due to ion f
A modern ion trap offers several advantages when using full scan tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) instead of selected-reaction monitoring (SRM); these advantages are discussed and a comparison of SRM and full scan MS/MS is made. An example of the application of full scan MS/MS to mixture analysis is
