Single Quadrupole Principles of Operation Full Scan (FS) Ion Source Detector the quadrupoles at a time. Single Ion Monitoring (SIM) Ion Source 5 Diagonal line represents the energies that are scanned to allow one ion at a specific mass to charge ratio to go through Detector Proprietary & Confidential Straight line represents the energy that is applied to allow only one ion at a specific mass to charge ratio to go through the quadrupoles.
Triple Quad MS – Principle of Operation Quantitation of target compounds in matrix samples Q 1 selects the precursor ion DDT ion: m/z 234. 94 6 Detector Fragment Ion Source Select Argon Collision Gas Proprietary & Confidential Q 3 selects the product ion fragments to m/z 164. 96
Ion Trap Principle of Operation • Trap all m/z ions simultaneously. • Mass-selectively eject them. Ion Injection 7 Ion Trapping Proprietary & Confidential Mass-selective Ejection
Orbitrap – Principle of Operation Kingdon Trap 1923 r z φ Hyper-logarithmic potential distribution: “ideal Kingdon trap” § Characteristic frequencies: • Frequency of rotation ωφ • Frequency of radial oscillations ωr • Frequency of axial oscillations ωz Makarov A.

HSRM Matrix background peak! Unit Resolution S/N 289 10 HSRM Chromatogram on the right (HSRM) shows improved S/N over left (unit resolution). By increasing the resolution on Q 1 to 0. 1 FWHM the TSQ Vantage can eliminate matrix background noise as well as interference peaks. HSRM provides enhanced selectivity for the ion of interest resulting in fewer false positives! Proprietary & Confidential S/N 3918 Matrix peak removed by HSRM
