Abstract
In various aspects, methods and systems disclosed herein are capable of operating a Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FTMS) quadrupole mass analyzer in two operational modes: transmitting mode and trapping mode. In the trapping mode, ions are first trapped and cooled within the FTMS quadrupole mass analyzer prior to being subjected to an excitation pulse and ejected from the FTMS quadrupole mass analyzer for detection. However, in transmitting mode, the FTMS quadrupole mass analyzer may provide more rapid analysis because the excitation pulse is applied to the ions of an ion beam that is being continuously transmitted through the FTMS quadrupole mass analyzer.
