Preferred Label : quadrupole mass analyser;
IUPAC definition : An arrangement in which ions with a desired quotient mass/charge are made to describe
a stable path under the effect of a static and a high-frequency electric quadrupole
field, and are then detected. Ions with a different mass/charge are separated from
the detected ions because of their unstable paths.;
