In this work we present a novel scheme for performing infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) external to the mass analyzer in an external ion reservoir consisting of an rf-only multipole and a pair of electrostatic lens elements. Ions generated by electrospray ionization (ESI) are accumulated in an rf-only hexapole and dissociated by irradiation at 10.6 microns from a CW CO2 laser in the source region of the mass spectrometer. This scheme is unique from other IRMPD schemes as dissociation occurs in a spatially distinct region of the spectrometer and is independent of the mass spectrometry platform used to analyze the fragment ions. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated with ESI IRMPD FTICR mass spectrometry of a 20-mer phosphorothioate oligonucleotide. A comparison of the external IRMPD scheme with nozzle-skimmer dissociation and conventional in-cell IRMPD reveals a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and fragment yield, particularly for larger, more highly charged fragment ions.
