Transmission quadrupole mass spectrometer
transmission quadrupole mass spectrometer quadrupole mass analyzer quadrupole mass filter quadrupole mass spectrometer Mass spectrometer that consists of an array of four parallel rod electrodes whose centers form the corners of a square and whose opposing electrode pairs are connected. The electric potential applied between the connected pairs of rods is a superposition of a static potential and a sinusoidal radio frequency potential. The motion of an ion in the x-y plane perpendicular to the length direction of the rod electrodes is described by the Mathieu equation whose solutions show that ions in a particular m/z range can be transmitted along the z-axis.
