How does an ion trap work?
Principles of operation
As the main RF voltage increases, ions of greater and greater mass-to-charge ratios eject through the slots in the linear trap. Ions are focused toward the ion detection system where they are detected.
Listen directly from our expert, Julie Horner, about the benefits of Ion Trap mass spectrometry for various applications.
