Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of mass analysis instruments. Disclosed is an ion excitation method in a linear ion trap. The method comprises: in a linear ion trap, and at an ion collision-induced dissociation stage, simultaneously applying an auxiliary excitation signal in radial X and Y directions thereof; increasing the kinetic energy of ions in the two directions, thereby increasing collisions with a center gas to cause dissociation; and converting the kinetic energy to internal energy to achieve tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The kinetic energy in the X and Y directions of the ion is increased, and compared to a conventional dissociation method in which ions are primarily excited in one direction, more kinetic energy is converted to internal energy, thus improving dissociation efficiency, shortening reaction time, and addressing a low mass cutoff effect in the ion trap.

Abstract: This invention is related to a tandem mass spectrometric analysis method in ion trap mass analyzer. Such method comprise three stages as represented by selective isolation, collision induced disassociation and mass scanning of ion. At the collision induced isolation stage, this invention is expected to endow parent ion of certain mass-charge ratio with energy through resonance excitation by changing cycle of radio frequency signals, namely frequency of radio frequency voltage imposed on the ion trap; such high-energy ions produced through resonance excitation are to be disassociated through collision with neutral molecules in the ion trap, which will further generate product ion to realize tandem mass spectrometric analysis.
