Abstract (en)

A method for transferring ions, in particular in a mass spectrometer (100), comprises the step of moving the ions from a source device (10) having a first electric potential through a transfer section (20) having a second electric potential into an analysis device (30), wherein the second electric potential is changed to a deceleration potential during the movement of the ions through the transfer section (20) and the deceleration potential has a different sign relative to the first electric potential. An ion guide (21) and a mass spectrometer (100), in particular for implementing this method are described.
