Abstract

A mass spectrometer is disclosed having an ion guide 1 which receives ions from either a pulsed ion source or an ion trap, or a continuous ion source. The ion guide 1 emits packets of ions. The pulses of ions emitted from the ion guide 1 may be synchronised with another device such as an ion detector, an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser, an ion trap or a mass filter. <IMAGE>
