The invention provides an apparatus for combining ions and charged particles. In general, the apparatus contains: a) a multipole device having an ion exit end; b) a mass analyzer; and c) a source of charged particles. The apparatus is configured so that charged particles produced by the source of charged particles pass through the mass analyzer and into the multipole device via the ion exit end of the multipole device.
