ABSTRACT:
A tandem quadrupole-based mass spectrometer including a highly efficient intermediate fragmentation stage. The disclosed fragmentation stage employs collision-induced dissociation (CID), in an electrodynamic focus device, which may be a quadrupole operated in a broad band filter mode. The disclosed CID process occurs at low energy (e.g., less than 1 keV, but preferably 2 eV to 100 eV), and is quite different from the high energy (e.g, greater than 1 keV, and typically 3 keV to 10 keV) CID process in prior tandem instruments such as mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry (MIKES) systems. The efficiency of the present CID fragmentation is as high as 65%.
