Scan Modes for Tandem MS with Triple Quadrupole Instruments

2 Scan Modes for Tandem MS with Triple Quadrupole Instruments 

In triple quadmpole instruments Qi and Q3 are operated independently as MSI and MS2, respectively, making MS/MS straightforward. The experimental setups for product ion, precursor ion, and neutral loss scanning are summarized in Table 9.3 and depicted in Fig. 9.18. Definitely, this instrument class offers the most easily understandable tandem MS modes of operation.
