Collision-induced dissociation, also known as collisionally activated dissociation, is a mass spectrometry technique to induce fragmentation of selected ions in the gas phase. The selected ions are us
Triple quadrupole mass spectrometer
…consisting of two quadrupole mass analyzers in series, with a (non-mass-resolving) radio frequency (RF)–only quadrupole between them to act as a cell for collision-induced dissociation. This configuration is often abbreviated QqQ, here Q1q2Q3. The arrangement of three quadrupoles was first developed by J.D. Morrison of La Trobe…
