Segmented electrodes and a curved ion path improve ion alignment while diverting gas to keep the analyzer region cleaner.
A kinematic mounting isolates charged particle optics from vacuum chamber wall deformation to preserve alignment and beam accuracy.
Selective product-ion extraction during electron capture dissociation reduces secondary fragmentation and clarifies spectra for protein sequencing.
AC-driven ion oscillation in a gas-filled ion guide removes adduct species while RF confinement preserves analyte integrity for cleaner MS analysis.
Auxiliary electrodes inside a multipole ion guide attenuate high m/z ions before downstream vacuum stages, reducing contamination and downtime.
