Abstract
The invention provides a mass spectrometer, an ion optical device, and a method for ion manipulation in a mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer includes a mass analyzer; and an ion guiding device, including two electrode arrays positioned in parallel with each other, each electrode array including at least two ring electrodes concentrically disposed or at least three linear electrode assemblies having a radial distribution; and a power supply means, configured to apply a voltage on at least a part of the ring electrodes, to form a radio-frequency electric field and a DC electric field. By means of the radio-frequency electric field and the DC electric field, ions are allowed to be stored in a region between the two arrays, and controlled to be sequentially released along a radial direction according to a preset mass-to-charge ratio requirement, then exit the ion guiding device and enter the mass analyzer for mass analysis.
