Patent GB-2429579-A (GB)
Title: A tandem mass spectrometer
Inventor: FRANZEN JOCHEN
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: A tandem mass spectrometer for mass spectrometric analyses of a sample, in which ions are created only once and stored in an ion reservoir, and the particular ion species to be analyzed is exported from the reservoir through a mass-selective ion gate (see Figures 3 to 5) without damaging the other ion species. All subsequent analyses are conducted on these stored ions, without adding further ions, in order not to bring about any changes in the concentrations of the stored ion species. The exported ions are fragmented, and a fragment ion mass spectrum is measured in a mass analyzer, preferably in an orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass analyzer (oaTOF). The processes of exporting a selected ion species with subsequent fragmentation and the acquisition of the fragment ion spectrum can be repeated for any number of ion species.
