Abstract

A mass spectrometer includes an ion source (11) for projecting ions along a predetermined path, a detector (31, 32, 33) offset from said path, a quadrupole ion filter or analyzer (26) disposed adjacent said detector (31, 32, 33) to provide its output to the detector, and quadrupole means (36) for directing ions away from said path into said ion filter and analyzer (26). Such a spectrometer produces relatively low noise levels.
