  • Digital waveform manipulations to produce MScollision induced dissociation
    Patent number: 10186412
    Abstract: A novel method and mass spectrometer apparatus is introduced to enable collision induced dissociation inside linear ion traps/guides or 3D ion traps based on digital waveform manipulation. In particular, using the device's digitally produced trapping waveforms to trap, isolate and energize the ions of interest creates a simplified and versatile ion trap/guide that is capable tandem mass spectrometry and high sensitivity. Coupling the digitally operated ion trap/guides to a TOF creates a Q-TOF instrument that outperforms any commercial system in terms of sensitivity and capabilities.
    Type: Grant
