Abstract

En 中文
The performance of a segmented quadrupole mass filter operated with rectangular waveforms and capacitively coupled rectangular waveforms applied to the prefilters was examined on a home-built quadrupole-Orbitrap platform. For peak widths of 50 m/z, 100% isolation efficiency was achieved, which fell to approximately 20% for 5 m/z peak width for a rectangular waveform of 150 V0-p. Due to a small exit aperture following the mass filter, peak structure was observed in both experimental peak shapes and those simulated using SIMION. A larger radius quadrupole was examined and achieved similar performance. While the segmented quadrupole does remove the defocusing effects of the fringing fields, the ion beam is only slightly refocused due to the low RF voltage which limits achievable gains in isolation efficiency.
