An imbalanced radio frequency (RF) field creates a retarding barrier near the exit aperture of a multipole ion guide, in combination with the extracting DC field such that the barrier provides an m/z dependent cut of ion sampling. Contrary to the prior art, the mass dependent sampling provides a well-conditioned ion beam suitable for other mass spectrometric devices. The mass selective sampling is suggested for improving duty cycle of o-TOF MS, for injecting ions into a multi-reflecting TOF MS in a zoom mode, for parallel MS-MS analysis in a trap-TOF MS, as well as for moderate mass filtering in fragmentation cells and ion reactors. With the aid of resonant excitation, the mass selective ion sampling is suggested for mass analysis.

An RF-only multipole includes a spiral resistive path formed around each multipole rod body. RF voltages are applied to the rod body and resistive path, and DC voltages are applied to the resistive path, to create a radially confining RF field and an axial DC field that assists in propelling ions through the multipole interior along the longitudinal axis thereof. In one implementation, the resistive path takes the form of a wire of resistive material, such as nichrome, which is laid down in the groove defined between threads formed on the rod body. The RF-only multipole of the invention avoids the need to use auxiliary rods or similar supplemental structures to generate the axial DC field.

To provide comprehensive (i.e. rapid and sensitive) MS-MS analysis, the inventor employs a time-nested separation, using two time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers. Parent ions are separated in a slow and long TOF1, operating at low ion energy (1 to l00eV), and fragment ions are mass analyzed in a fast and short TOF2, operating at much higher keV energy. Low energy fragmentation cell between TOF1 and TOF2 is tailored to accelerate fragmentation and dampening steps, mostly by shortening the cell and employing higher gas pressure. Since separation in TOF1 takes milliseconds and mass analysis in TOF2- microseconds, the invention provides comprehensive MS-MS analysis of multiple precursor ions per single ion pulse. Slow separation in TOF1 becomes possible with an introduction of novel TOF1 analyzers. The TOF-TOF could be implemented using a static TOF1, here described on the examples of spiratron, planar and cylindrical multi-pass separators with griddles spatial focusing ion mirrors. Higher performance is expected with the use of novel hybrid TOF 1 analyzers, combining radio frequency (RF) and quadratic DC fields. RF field retains low-energy ions within TOF 1 analyzer, while quadratic DC field improves resolution by compensate for large relative energy spread.

A mass spectrometer includes a multipole having a main RF field for radially containing ions generally on a central axis. The multipole has first and second axial DC fields in opposite first and second direction along a length of the multipole. The first and second axial DC fields approach or add substantially to zero on the central axis. The multipole has an excitation voltage applied thereto for selectively exciting the ions of desired m/z ratios off the central axis. The excitation voltage thus causes excursion of the ions into a region where either the first or second axial DC field is strong. Thus, excitation of the ions and the DC fields cause ion drift toward a front end or a back end of the multipole. Further excitation moves the ions into regions of the DC fields that overcome barriers and causes axial ejection of the ions from the multipole.

A linear ion trap includes at least two discrete trapping regions for processing ions, a RF electrical potential generator, a multi-output DC electrical potential generator, and a control unit. The RF electrical potential generator produces two RF waveforms each applied to a pair of pole electrodes of the linear ion trap forming a RF trapping field component to trap ions radially. The multi-output DC electrical potential generator produces multiple DC field components superimposed to the RF field component and distributed across the length of the linear ion trap to control ions axially. The control unit switches the DC electrical potentials and corresponding DC field components collectively forming a first trapping region populated with ions to alter ion potential energy from a first level to a second level, and enables a first ion processing step in at least one of the first and second levels.

In order to compensate for a drop in sensitivity at high rotational speeds, an acceleration sensor having an inductive measuring head (T) which cooperates with a moving Ferraris disk (F) essentially over a main magnetic field and which supplies an acceleration-dependent variable (Vdet; Vα) is expanded by an additional DC magnetic field excitation circuit (13, 14, I_K, R_K) with a means for driving the latter with the effect that the additional DC magnetic field acts in a compensating fashion on an eddy-current DC field, starting from a relatively high rotational speed (ω) of the Ferraris disk (F). This can be performed by amplifying the main magnetic field or by reducing the eddy-current DC field. A control signal (Vω), dependent on rotational speed, which both can be generated outside the sensor via a characteristic curve, and can be derived in the form of a control loop from the sensor signal (Vα), serves as a drive.
