FIELD: hyperboloid mass spectrometry; developing high-resolution and high-sensitivity devices.
SUBSTANCE: proposed method for analyzing ions by specific charges in hyperboloid mass spectrometer of "three-dimensional ion trap" type includes introduction of ions into working space of analyzer, their entrapping by field, sorting out according to specific charges, followed by heir delivery to inlet of ion detector; ions are entrapped selectively by setting high-frequency supply voltage amplitude, and/or waveform, and/or frequency at which working point of ions being analyzed on stability diagram of at least one of coordinates on iso-β0 line corresponding to β0 =0 value, where β0 is parameter of stability.
EFFECT: enhanced precision of analyzing ions by specific charges.
