Abstract
The present invention provides a mass spectrometer comprising a first ion trap, a second ion trap, a lens stack for directing ions from the first ion trap to the second ion trap and a housing. The first ion trap is arranged to form a linear or curved potential well and the second ion trap is an electrostatic ion trap, for example, an orbital ion trap, arranged to form an annular potential well. The mass spectrometer further comprises a unitary insert comprising a first cavity which holds the lens stack and a second cavity which holds the second ion trap, wherein the insert is inserted within the housing.
