Abstract
Ions accumulated in an rf-only multipole for extended periods of time prior to mass analysis can experience a significant degree of fragmentation and produce mass spectra which do not reflect the true nature of the intact analyte(s). This phenomenon, termed multipole storage assisted dissociation (MSAD), places constraints on the maximum number of ions which can be accumulated in the multipole storage device as a result of its finite space charge limit. This phenomenon can be exploited to produce dissociation spectra that are dominated by fragment ions providing important sequence/structure information. In this work we further explore MSAD and characterize parameters including accumulation time, source pressure, and the electrostatic configuration of the multipole storage device, which mediate the phenomenon. Operating parameters are identified that can either enhance or eliminate the phenomenon.Keywords
