ABSTRACT:
In a quadrupole ion store (QUISTOR), a sample is analyzed by increasing the mplitude of the harmonic, or "secular", oscillations of selected stably trapped ions so that they leave the trapping field. In a preferred embodiment, deviations from the ideal electrode geometry are incorporated into the QUISTOR to produce resonance phenomena between the r and z secular oscillations, thereby increasing the amplitude of oscillations in the z direction.
