    Abstract: A collision reaction pool ion acceleration apparatus which has extremely low crosstalk. The apparatus comprises an apparatus body, a vacuum chamber, a first tube bundle channel and a second tube bundle channel. The vacuum chamber is fixedly connected to the interior of the apparatus body; the other end of the interior of the apparatus body is fixedly connected to a first insulation seat. A collision chamber is embeddedly connected to the inside the first insulation seat, and a high-frequency electrode quadrupole lens is fixedly connected to two sides of the collision chamber. When charged ions enter the collision chamber, the high-frequency electrode quadrupole lens focuses on the charged ions, so that the incoming charged ions form a new motion trajectory in the collision chamber, and the charged ions are easily separated from the collision chamber, thereby increasing the working efficiency.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method are proposed for the strong improvement of dynamic range (DR) of detectors and of data systems for time-of-flight mass spectrometers (TOF MS) with periodically repetitive signals. TOF separated ions are converted into secondary particles, primarily electrons, and the flow of secondary particles is controllably attenuated to sustain the data acquisition system in a counting mode above the electronic noise threshold. The acquisition time is split between at least two time segments, characterized by alternated transmission efficiency SE of secondary particles. Using strong electron suppression (SE«1) is employed for recording intense ion peak, while counting ions with either ADC, or TDC, or ADC with extracting peak centroids. A longer time segment employs an efficient electron transfer (SE=1) for detecting weak ion species. In another independent aspect, an ion-optical element is provided upstream of the ion detector and is configured to deflect, reflect or retard ions such that ions that have been scattered or fragmented in the time of flight region do not impact on the ion detector.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein are directed to collision cells that comprise one or more integrated lenses. In some examples, a lens is coupled to two sections of a sectioned quadrature rod assembly, the lens comprising an aperture and a plurality of separate conductive elements disposed each one side of the lens, in which a respective disposed conductive element on one side of the lens is configured to electrically couple to a first, second, third, and fourth pole segments of the sectioned quadrature rod assembly.

    Abstract: A precursor ion selected by a quadrupole mass filter is fragmented by imparting a predetermined amount of collision energy (CE) to the ion. Among the thereby generated product ions, only the ions included within a predetermined m/z range are stored in an ion trap. The ions are subsequently separated and detected by a TOF. For one precursor ion originating from a target compound, a mass spectrometric analysis is performed for each combination of a plurality of the set CE values and subdivided m/z ranges to obtain spectrum data. A spectrum data accumulator accumulates the spectrum data obtained by the mass spectrometric analysis under different combinations of (CE value, m/z range). Based on the accumulated spectrum data, a mass spectrum creator creates a single product-ion spectrum corresponding to the target compound.

    Abstract: A linear ion trap includes at least two discrete trapping regions for processing ions, a RF electrical potential generator, a multi-output DC electrical potential generator, and a control unit. The 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. The multi-output DC electrical potential generator produces multiple DC field components superimposed to the RF field component and distributed across the length of the linear ion trap to control ions axially. The control unit switches the DC electrical potentials and corresponding DC field components collectively forming a first trapping region populated with ions to alter ion potential energy from a first level to a second level, and enables a first ion processing step in at least one of the first and second levels.
