Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a new method for multiple-stage mass spectrometry (MSn), collision-activated infrared multiphoton dissociation (CA-IRMPD), which is very effective for the quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer (QITMS). CA-IRMPD uses a combination of focused laser irradiation (beam radius, approximately 0.4 mm) and collisional activation by a supplemental AC voltage between endcap electrodes. This combination enables IRMPD, which has conventionaLly been ineffective above 10(-4) Torr, to be used under a standard bath gas pressure of 2-8 mTorr. CA-IRMPD can produce richer spectra of product ions than CID or IRMPD while maintaining high sensitivity and mass resolution; thus, it will contribute to an accurate determination of peptide sequences.
