Abstract
A mass spectrometry system comprises a source of ions for analysis, an ion storage device for separating the source ions as a function of their different mass-to-charge ratios, means for dissociating the separated source ions in order to generate daughter ions and an ion mirror for analyzing the daughter ions as a function of the mass-to-charge ratios. The mass spectrometry system has particular utility in the analysis of large molecules contained in biological and biochemical samples.
