Abstract
A method includes directing ions from an atmospheric pressure ion source to a first ion guide; directing ions in the first ion guide to a second ion guide, the second ion guide being a multipole ion guide extending along an axis; periodically directing ions along the axis; receiving at least some of the ions in a time-of-flight analyzer; accelerating the ions in the time-of-flight mass analyzer orthogonal to the axis; and detecting the accelerated ions.
