Q

quadrupole ms

A

4 metal rods, opposite rods have same charge, 2 + and 2 -, alternate between DC and AC. only ions that arent stuck to a side can pass through. can be low pass (light molecules can get through when the AC is applied to the negative rods), high pass (heavy molecules can get through with AC on the pos. rods - they are less moveable) and bandpass by varying these in tandem
