Abstract
The present invention can be directed to a mass spectrometer, relevant parts thereof like replacement kits or upgrading kits and/or mass spectrometry methods. A mass spectrometer according to the present invention can comprise at least one ion source for generating a beam of ions from a sample. Moreover at least one mass filter downstream of the ion source can be provided and adapted to select ions from the beam by their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). Furthermore at least one collision cell arranged downstream of the mass filter can be arranged. At least one sector field mass analyser arranged downstream of the collision cell can be further provided and at least one ion multicollector comprising a plurality of ion detectors arranged downstream of the mass analyser, for detecting a plurality of different ion species in parallel and/or simultaneously.
