A digital ion trap (DIT) and rectilinear ion trap (RIT) have been proven to be very useful technology in the past years. In this work, the digital ion trap technology was combined with the ceramic-based rectilinear ion trap (cRIT) system. The rectangular waveform was used for ion trapping. A dipolar excitation waveform which was formed by dividing down the trapping rectangular waveform was used for the ion ejection. We found that the high efficient collision-induced dissociation (CID) procedure could be obtained by simply manipulating the duty cycle of the dipole excitation waveform, and it could significantly simplify the tandem mass spectrometry analysis method and procedure with an ion trap, since the dipolar direct current (dc) voltage could be easily produced and applied to one of the pair of electrodes, which was fully controlled by the computer software and does not need any hardware modification.
