Fourtier transform quadrupole mass spectrometer and method

A quadrupole mass spectrometer in which a sample to be analyzed is ionized in a two or three dimensional electrostatic trapping field, and the ions in the range of the mass-to-charge ratios to be analyzed are excited at their characteristic frequencies of motion. The excited ions generate image curr...

Zusammenfassung:A quadrupole mass spectrometer in which a sample to be analyzed is ionized in a two or three dimensional electrostatic trapping field, and the ions in the range of the mass-to-charge ratios to be analyzed are excited at their characteristic frequencies of motion. The excited ions generate image currents which are detected and processed to provide a mass spectrum.
