  • Parallel ion parking in ion traps
    Patent number: 8334503
    Abstract: A method of controlling ion parking in an ion trap includes generating a trapping field for trapping cations and anions, and applying a tailored waveform during a period when ion/ion reactions occur to park first generation product ions with m/z values that differ from those of a cation and an anion in selected m/z regions. In particular, the tailored waveform inhibits simultaneously the reactions of ions of disparate m/z ratios.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 18, 2012
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
