Abstract
In one aspect, an ion guide for use in a mass spectrometer is disclosed, which comprises a first plurality of conductive electrodes disposed on a first surface, a second plurality of conductive electrodes disposed on a second surface, wherein the two surfaces are positioned relative to one another and shaped so as to provide a passageway having an inlet for receiving an ion beam and an outlet through which target ions of interest exit the passageway. The ion guide further includes an orifice formed in at least one of those surfaces through which neutral species and/or large ion clusters, when present in the ion beam, exit the ion guide.
