• Mass filter – separation accomplished using combination of DC and RF electric fields.
• Ions oscillate through filter towards detector.
• Only ions with stable trajectory transmitted.
• Scan DC/RF m/z.
DC = Direct current (constant)RF=AC= alternating current
An ion that is the right size drifts slightly in the DC of the field, but is always dragged back by the AC. The AC, however, is not quite strong enough to make it spiral out of control into an electrode. Thus an ion just the right size is stable in this quadrupole field and reaches the end, where it can be measured.
A very large ion will not be affected much by the AC, but will gradually drift in the DC part. The AC is not strong enough to drag it back as it wanders, so it also collides with an electrode, and is lost.
A small ion will be dragged a large distance by the AC, and will find itself in stronger and stronger regions of field. It will quickly collide with an electrode and disappear.
The AC field makes the ions go off into spirals as they pass down the quadrupole. The DC drags them in one constant direction, towards one pair of electrodes.
RF set so that all ions above specific m/z follow stable trajectory , All other ions escape.
Fragmentation by collision induce dissociation (CID) :Ion activated by collision and allowed to dissociate
3D Ion trap : MSn = SEVERAL fragmentation (CID)
parent ion isolation.exe
CID = ion accelerated by electric potential and allowed to collide with neutral molecules = kinetic energy is transformed into internal energy = breakage
CID depends strongly on energy, collision gas, pressure, and other factors = no libraries
Fast scanning at unit resolution High resolution over smaller m/z rangesMSn exsperiments
Compact = IDEAL FOR FIELD APPLICATIONS
Aqueous Monitoring/sampling

Benefits. High sensitivity. Multi-stage mass spectrometry (analogous to FTICR experiments). Compact mass analyzer (Field detector). MSn
Limitations. Very poor dynamic range (can sometimes be compensated for by using auto-ranging). Subject to space charge effects and ion molecule reactions. Collision energy not well-defined MS/MS depends strongly on energy,
collision gas, pressure, and other factors
Applications. Benchtop GC/MS, LC/MS and MS/MS systems. Target compound screening
3D Ion trap :
31
Ion in a magnetic field experience Lorentz force and bend them in a circular path
In ICR it is detected the frequency that the ions go around
Mass-selective excitation achieve by a transverse electric field alternating
FT-ICR : Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance
BenefitsHighest recorded mass resolution of all mass spectrometers and High accuracy ( <1ppm)Wide mass range without lost of sensitivity Non-destructive ion detection= ion re-measurementStable mass calibration
Limitations:Needs Low Background pressure to avoid ion molecule reactions and ion –neutral collisions Need high magnetic field Large and really expensive
Applications :Complex mixture , e.g. crude oil (http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/usershub/scientificdivisions/icr/index.html)MacromoleculesMetabolomicsProteomics ( after protein digestion - fragments determination)
….etc..

Orbitrap: Ions are trapped in Axial oscillation in a homogenous electrostatic field
Helps to capture andcooling the ions
35
1. Ions are stored in the Linear Trap
2. …. are axially ejected
3. …. and trapped in the C-trap
4. …. they are squeezed into a small cloud and injected into the Orbitrap
5. …. where they are electrostatically trapped, while rotating around the central electrodeand performing axial oscillation
The oscillating ions induce an image current into the two outer halves of the orbitrap, which can be detected using a differential amplifier
BenefitsParallel acquisition mode available : highly resolved and accurate analysisMS3 fragmentationPolarity switch in the same run (+ to -)Slower Drop in resolution with increasing mass/z
Limitations :Requires Ultra high vacuumMass resolution and accuracy are linearly proportional to signal acquisition time

PRECURSOR IONSELECTION
PRODUCT IONDETECTION
“Precursor” Ions are selected and isolatedCollision-Induced-Dissociation Results in fragmentation
“Product” Ions are characterized with the second mass analyzer
Tripel-QUAD: Mode 1: Product ion scan

Precursor ion scan Q3 is held to measure the occurrence of a particular fragment ion, Q1 is scanned. This results is a spectrum of precursor ions that result in that particular product ionNeutral loss scan
Q1 is scanned as above, Q3 is also scanned at a mass off-set to produce a spectrum of
precursor ions that undergo a particular neutral loss.
Mode 2
Mode 3
41
Selected reaction monitoring (SRM or also called MRM)Q1 and Q3 are static; user-selected specific ions are transmitted through the first analyser and user-selected specific fragments arising from these ions are measured by the second analyser. The compound must be known and characterised in advance.
