Js. Anderson et al., EVOLUTION OF TRAPPED ION CELLS IN FOURIER-TRANSFORM ION-CYCLOTRON RESONANCE MASS-SPECTROMETRY, TrAC. Trends in analytical chemistry, 13(6), 1994, pp. 234-239
Factors shaping the development of trapped ion cells in Fourier transf
orm ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry have evolved alo
ng several lines. Areas of improvement include maximizing the quadrupo
lar character of the cell, reducing the radial electric trapping field
, and improving the linearity of the excitation event. This review foc
uses on cell development for optimum FTICR performance.
