Abstract:
A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein one or more relatively abundant or intense species of ions in a first population of ions are selectively attenuated so as to form a second population of ions. The total ion current of the second population of ions is then adjusted so that the ion current corresponding to ions which are onwardly transmitted to a mass analyser comprising an ion detector is within the dynamic range of the ion detector.

Claim (Index 15):
A mass spectrometer, comprising:\n a selective attenuation device arranged and adapted to selectively attenuate one or more relatively abundant or intense species of ions in combination with a device arranged and adapted to adjust or optimise a total ion current so that an ion signal is within a dynamic range of a downstream device; wherein: a single ion-optical device is arranged and adapted to selectively attenuate one or more relatively abundant or intense species of ions and to adjust or optimise a total ion current; said single ion-optical device is arranged and adapted to selectively attenuate one or more relatively abundant or intense species of ions in a population of ions and to adjust or optimise a total ion current of said population of ions substantially simultaneously; and said adjusting or optimising a total ion current comprises attenuating all species of ions, wherein said attenuation device is arranged and adapted to attenuate said one or more relatively abundant or intense species of ions to a greater degree.
