Abstract:
A linear ion trap includes at least two discrete trapping regions for processing ions and at least one gas pulse valve for applying pulses of gas to dynamically control pressure in the at least two discrete trapping regions. A RF electrical potential generator produces two RF waveforms, each applied to a pair of pole electrodes of the linear ion trap forming a RF trapping field component to trap ions radially. A multi-output DC electrical potential generator produces multiple DC field components superimposed to the RF trapping field component and distributed across the length of the linear ion trap to control ions axially. A control unit is configured to switch the DC electrical potentials and corresponding DC field components collectively forming a first trapping region of the at least two discrete trapping regions that is populated with ions to alter ion potential energy from a first level to a second level, and to enable at least a first ion processing step in at least one of the first and second levels.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the RF trapping field component is produced by two opposite phase RF waveforms comprising substantially rectangular voltage pulse trains.
