The relatively limited dynamic range In a Fourier transform Ion cyclotron resonance(FT/ICR) mass spectrum can be ex-tended by selective ejection of the most abundant Ions, followed by normal excitation and detection of the remaining Ions. Unfortunately, frequency-sweep ejection does not pro-vide sufficient mass selectivity. In this paper, we propose stored waveform Inverse Fourier transform (SWIFT) excitation for ejection of all Ions above a specified intensity threshold. The SWIFT technique accomplishes simultaneous rapid multlple-lon ejection, with high mass selectivity, so that the less abundant ions can subsequently be detected with enhanced slgnal-to-noise ratio and enhanced mass resolution. The theoretical advantages of SWIFT multlple-lon ejection are demonstrated experimentally for low-abundance (eg, car-bon-13 isotope) Ions In the FT/ICR mass spectrum of per-fluorotributylamlne.Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance(FT/ICR) mass spectrometry (1) offers several analytically useful features which have recently been reviewed (2-7): ultrahigh mass resolution (> 1000000 at m/z< 200); accurate mass mea-surement for gas chromatography with FT/ICR detection; facilitated detection of low-volatility samples due to 1000 times lower source pressure than in other mass spectrometers; versatile ion sources(electron impact (El), self chemical ionization (self-CI), laser desorption (LD), secondary ioniza-tion, and fast atom bombardment (FAB)); trapped-ion ca-pability for study of ion/molecule reaction kinetics, equilibria, and energetics; mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MS/MS) with a single sample chamber and mass analyzer. However, a major current limitation of FT/ICR mass spectrometry is its relatively small dynamic range (ca. 103: 1) compared to other mass spectrometers (> 106: 1). At the lower limit of ICR signal strength (8), detector noise limits the minimum number of ions required to give an observable signal
