HIGH RESOLUTION EXCITATION/ISOLATION OF IONS IN A LOW PRESSURE LINEAR ION TRAP

摘要

Methods for improved separation of ions from an ion trap employing a combination of low pressure and low amplitude ion excitation, including methods for removing, from an ion trap ion population, ions having a m/z value neighboring that of an ion of interest, mass spectrometry methods providing improved resolution of ion detection, and programmable apparatus programmed with instructions therefor.
