DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a high trapping efficiency ion trap. This device can be used on ion trap based mass spectrometers including ion trap mass spectrometers (ITMS) and hybrid quadrupole ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometers (QitTOF). The proposed ion trap will use a specially constructed split ring connected to a pair of matched RF voltage sources, to provide a quadrupole field that can be switched between 2D (linear trap) and 3D (Paul trap) modes electronically. Using the linear trap mode for trapping (injecting) ions, a projected 10 to 20 fold improvement in trapping efficiency can be achieved versus a 3D ion trap. After the ions are trapped and cooled inside the trap, the RF electronics can be switched back to the conventional 3D ion trap mode to scan and eject the ions. The trapping efficiency improvement would thus result in a significant improvement in sensitivity. The 3D scan and eject mode of this ion trap would provide a tight output ion beam, making for a simple interface to additional components such as a TOF MS or external fragmentation device. This configuration could be applied to current and future analytical instruments that use an ion trap, as well as to other ion trap applications, allowing one to take advantage of the best of both the 2D linear trap and the 3D Paul trap. Development of the proposed device could improve the performance of several analytical tools for proteomics research. For low abundant protein samples, it could provide much better sensitivity, with lower detection limits. The impact of ion trap technology development has been seen in many areas of life science research, and this proposed work should help continue this ion trap evolution. This work will not only benefit ion trap related mass spectrometer development, but will also expand our knowledge base of ion traps in general.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在证明高捕获效率离子阱的可行性。该装置可用于基于离子阱的质谱仪，包括离子阱质谱仪（ITMS）和混合四极杆离子阱飞行时间质谱仪（QitTOF）。拟议的离子阱将使用一个特殊构造的分裂环连接到一对匹配的RF电压源，以提供一个四极场，可以在2D（线性陷阱）和3D（保罗陷阱）模式之间切换电子。使用用于捕获（注入）离子的线性阱模式，与3D离子阱相比，可以实现捕获效率的预计10至20倍的改进。在离子被捕获并在阱内冷却之后，RF电子器件可以切换回传统的3D离子阱模式以扫描并喷射离子。因此，捕集效率的提高将导致灵敏度的显著提高。该离子阱的3D扫描和喷射模式将提供紧密的输出离子束，从而实现与诸如TOF MS或外部碎裂装置的附加组件的简单接口。这种配置可以应用于使用离子阱的当前和未来的分析仪器，以及其他离子阱应用，允许人们利用2D线性阱和3D Paul阱两者的最佳优点。 所提出的设备的开发可以提高蛋白质组学研究的几种分析工具的性能。对于低丰度蛋白质样品，它可以提供更好的灵敏度，具有较低的检测限。离子阱技术发展的影响已经在生命科学研究的许多领域中看到，这项拟议的工作应该有助于继续这种离子阱的发展。这项工作将不仅有利于离子阱相关质谱仪的发展，但也将扩大我们的知识基础的离子阱一般。
