Abstract:
The invention provides a mass spectrometer that comprises a collision cell having an axial electric field that enhances transmission of light ions, especially elemental ions, through the collision cell, relative to heavier ions. The invention also provides methods of mass spectrometry that employ an axial electric field that is provided in a collision cell.

Claim (Index 31):
A mass spectrometer for mass analysis of elements in a sample, comprising\n a. at least one ion source, for generating an ion beam from a sample, the ion beam comprising elemental ions and optionally molecular ions that interfere with elemental ions in a mass spectrum; b. at least one reaction cell arranged downstream of the ion source, the reaction cell having an internal volume through which ions travelling in an axial direction from the ion source are transmitted; c. at least one sector field mass analyzer, arranged downstream from the reaction cell, d. at least one multicollector detector, for detecting ions that are analyzed in the mass analyzer,\n wherein the collision cell is configured to provide an axial electric field in the volume, wherein the axial electric field improves the transmission of light elemental ions through the collision cell relative to heavier elemental ions.
