Orange Book Entry

A mass spectrometer which combines analysers of different types, e.g . a magnetic plus electric sector combined with a quadrupole. See also tandem mass spectrometer. Ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass spectrometer A high-frequency mass spectrometer in which the ions to be detected, with a selected mass/charge ratio, absorb maximum energy through the effect of a high-frequency field and a constant magnetic field perpendicular to it. Maximum energy is gained by ions that satisfy the cyclotron resonance condition and as a result these are separated from ions of different mass/charge. See also Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometer and ion trap.
