Abstract: A Time-Of-Flight mass analyzer includes a multipole ion guide (16) located in the ion flight path between the ion source (1) and the flight tube (42) of the Time-Of-Flight mass analyzer.  In one preferred embodiment, a Time-Of-Flight (TOF) mass analyzer is configured such that a multipole ion guide is positioned in the ion path between the ion source and the ion pulsing region (30) of the TOF mass analyzer.

The ion guide electronics can be set to select the mass to charge (m/z) range of ions which can be successfully transmitted or trapped in the ion guide. All or a portion of the ions with stable ion guide trajectories in transmission or trapping mode can then undergo Collisional Induced Dissociation (CID) using one of at least three techniques.  The multipole ion guide is used for ion transmission, trapping and fragmentation can reside in one vacuum pumping stage (138) or can extend continuously into more than one vacuum pumping stage (18, 19).

Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: It has been a practice to use nptII as a selective marker gene (drug-resistant gene) and kanamycin, G418, etc. as a selective drug in selecting rice transformants. However, only a poor selection efficiency can be established thereby and it has been therefore required to develop a highly efficient rice transformation system with the use of a novel combination. By using paromomycin as a novel selective drug, rice can be transformed at an extremely high efficiency.
