A radio frequency-free electromagnetostatic (EMS) cell devised for electron-capture dissociation
(ECD) of ions has been retrofitted into the collision-induced dissociation (CID) section of a triple
quadrupole mass spectrometer to enable recording of ECD product-ion mass spectra and
simultaneous recording of ECD-CID product-ion mass spectra. This modified instrument can be used...
Recently, we demonstrated that a radio-frequency-free electromagnetostatic (RF-free EMS) cell could be retrofitted into a triple quad mass spectrometer to allow electron-capture dissociation (ECD) without the aid of cooling gas or phase-specific electron injection into the cell [1-2]. Subsequently, we used our RF-free EMS cell in the same instrument platform...
