Abstract

A high resolution MS/MS instrument comprising electrostatic analyzer, magnetic sector, electrostatic analyzer (EBE) is described. Analytical applications of this instrument require high resolution mass selection, high dynamic range and good transmission for collision-induced decomposition (CID) fragments. Suitable experiments are reported as an evaluation of these requirements. It is found that CID spectra can be obtained for ion components separated at a mass resolution of 100 000. At lower resolving powers, a dynamic range of 100 000 for mixture constituents is demonstrated. Finally, a transmission of 4% for ion fragments produced in CID from methane is established.
