An ion analysis apparatus includes an ionization source that generates a beam of ions and a trapping device that axially transfers the ions downstream. A first quadrupole mass filter receives the ions from the trapping device and transfers at least a first subset of the received ions. A segmented linear quadrupole ion trap performs a first processing step on the at least first subset of ions and transfers the processed ions. A second quadrupole mass filter receives the processed ions transferred from the segmented linear quadrupole ion trap and transfers at least a second subset of the processed ions. A collision cell receives and performs a second processing step on the at least second subset of processed ions. A mass analyzer performs mass analysis of the ions processed by the collision cell.
