  • HYBRID MASS SPECTROMETER AND METHODS OF OPERATING A MASS SPECTROMETER
    Publication number: 20180068838
    Abstract: A hybrid mass spectrometer design and architecture, and methods of operating mass spectrometers are disclosed. According to one operating method, an analysis time is determined for each one of a plurality of ion species to be analyzed in an ordered sequence, and an injection time is calculated for at least some of the ion species based on an analysis time of a preceding ion species in the ordered list. The method enables more efficient utilization of analyzer time.
    Type: Application
