<p>A method for operating a mass spectrometer having an ion trap over a plurality of selected mass-to-charge ranges constituting an overall mass-to-charge range is disclosed. For each of the plurality of selected mass-to-charge ranges the method comprises filling the ion trap with fragmented ions of the selected mass-to-charge ranges, cooling the fragmented ions trapped in the ion trap for a first cooling period, applying an RF voltage and a resolving direct current voltage to the ion trap for eliminating any remaining fragmented ions outside the selected ion mass-to-charge range and retaining ions within the selected ion mass-to-charge range, cooling the retained ions in the ion trap for a second cooling period, and scanning the retained ions out of the ion trap and detecting the ions released therefrom.</p> |
