Hyperbolic quadrupole (hyperquad) Exhibit no. 129. The quadrupole is a type of mass analyzer, which separates ions based on the stability of their trajectories in the oscillating electric fields that are applied to four rods set parallel to each other. In a quadrupole assembly, rods opposite each other are connected electrically. AC and DC ...
A quadrupole ion trap is a type of ion trap that uses dynamic electric fields to trap charged particles. They are also called radio frequency (RF) traps or Paul traps in honor of Wolfgang Paul, who invented the device and shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1989 for this work. It is used as a component of a mass spectrometer or a trapped ion quantum computer
mass spectrometer. For given values of these fields ions will either pass through the filter or will collide with the rods of the quadrupole, giving a charge to the mass selection system for the ions. The electrodes of the quadrupole mass filter are in general assumed to be hyperbolic though in real analyzers cylindrical rods are often used.
Quadrupole mass filters (QMF) developed in the 1950s by Paul et al.,, are largely used in many instruments for mass separation. Ideal mass filters are based on four rods with hyperbolic section to generate the appropriate electric field but in commercial instruments cylindrical rods are preferred due to the simplicity of construction although the generated field is perturbed with respect to ...
Quadrupole Mass Analyzer. The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four parallel conducting rods of hyperbolic cross section spaced about a central axis along which ions are conducted. The rods are connected to radiofrequency (RF) and direct current (DC) generators, and adjacent rods are of …
Research highlights Quadrupole mass filters with cylindrical and hyperbolic rods. Comparison of transmission and mass resolution in the third stability zone. Reduced injection region increases transmission and avoid low mass tail. High mass tails reduced by a frequency increase. Same baseline resolution and transmission for cylindrical and hyperbolic rods.

The quadrupole mass analyzer (QMS), originally conceived by Nobel Laureate Wolfgang Paul and his student Helmut Steinwedel, also known as a transmission quadrupole mass spectrometer, quadrupole mass filter, or quadrupole mass spectrometer, is one type of mass analyzer used in mass spectrometry.As the name implies, it consists of four cylindrical rods, set parallel to each other.
A quadrupole mass filter is composed of four mutually parallel, highly precise, electrically-isolated electrodes. The orientation of the electrodes is such that there is a hyperbolic (quadrupolar) electric field between them.

Another approach includes miniaturization of hyperbolic QMFs using ceramic ma-terial, coated with metal to define electrode regions [6, 7]. In recent years, the most popular method for minia-
