| Penning ion trap |
|---|
|
A type of mass analyzer in which ions are confined in space by means of a three dimensional, rotationally symmetric quadrupolar electric field. Sorting of ions is performed by changing the field conditions appropriately to destabilize an ion of a particular m/z. The destabilized ion is then detected when it exits the trap and strikes a collection device, e.g. an electron multiplier or conversion dynode. |
