Quadrupole AC voltage (R.F.) • When field (-), ions attr. to rods • When field (+), ions pushed to center – more difficult to deflect heavy ions w/ AC voltage
R.F. (ac voltage) only – quadrupoleis a high mass filter - R.F. has big influence on small mass - R.F. has little influence on large mass
Quadrupole DC voltage (+) rods • Keep ions in center • Lighter ions can still hit rods on (-) part of AC voltage (-) rods • All ions drawn toward rods • Lighter ions can have (+) part of AC voltage repel them enough so they don’t hit rods High mass filter Low mass filter
