Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012167207A2] An improved trap-TOF mass spectrometer has a set of electrodes arranged to produce both a quadrupolar RF confining field and a substantially homogeneous dipole field. In operation, ions are first confined by the RF field and then, at a selected time, the RF confining field is discontinued and the dipole field is used to accelerate the ions so as to initiate a TOF MS analysis. The apparatus of the present invention may be used alone or in conjunction with other analyzers to produce mass spectra from analyte ions.
