Comparative performance of tripole and quadrupole ion guides at elevated pressure

This study presents the first practical demonstration of an operational tripole ion guide. The transmission was measured for both the tripole and quadrupole ion guides at 1 Torr pressure. It was found that the quadrupole provides 2.5–3 times better ion transmission efficiency. Two different electric...

Zusammenfassung:This study presents the first practical demonstration of an operational tripole ion guide. The transmission was measured for both the tripole and quadrupole ion guides at 1 Torr pressure. It was found that the quadrupole provides 2.5–3 times better ion transmission efficiency. Two different electric schemes for driving the tripole were tested. Similar transmission characteristics were obtained in both cases. A brief analysis of the tripole performance and ways to improve it is presented. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
