A method of mass spectrometry having the steps of, in a first cycle: storing sample ions in a first ion storage device; ejecting the stored ions out of the first ion storage device into a separate ion selection device; selecting a subset of the ions in the ion selection device; ejecting the subset of ions selected within the ion selection device to a fragmentation device; directing ions from the fragmentation device back to the first ion storage device without passing them through the said ion selection device; receiving at least some of the ions ejected from the first ion storage device, or their derivatives, back into the first ion storage device; and storing the received ions in the first ion storage device. |
