A method and apparatus of combining two independent multipoles in an interlaced fashion to form a resultant multipole structure is introduced. Such an arrangement enables ions from two separate sources to be merged along a predetermined longitudinal direction but also enables in the reverse path, predetermined portions of ions from a single source to be directed along one or more ion channel paths to also enable, for example, simultaneous collection by a Time of Flight (TOF) mass analyzer and an ion trap.
