Abstract: | A focused laser is used to make infrared multiphoton photodissociation (IRMPD) more efficient in a quadrupole ion trap mass
spectrometer. Efficient (up to 100%) dissociation at the standard operating pressure of 1 × 10−3 Torr can be achieved without any supplemental ion activation and with shorter irradiation times. The axial amplitudes of
trapped ion clouds are measured using laser tomography. Laser flux on the ion cloud is increased six times by focusing the
laser so that the beam waist approximates the ion cloud size. Unmodified peptide ions from 200 Da to 3 kDa are completely
dissociated in 2.5–10 ms at a bath gas pressure of 3.3 × 10−4 Torr and in 3–25 ms at 1.0 × 10−3 Torr. Sequential dissociation of product ions is increased by focusing the laser and by operating at an increased bath gas
pressure to minimize the size of the ion cloud. |
