Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Series Hardware Manual 11
Scan Parameters
This chapter describes some of the scan parameter settings that you set in the Orbitrap Fusion
Series Tune application.
Scan Types
The following scan types are available:
• MS Scan
• MS
2
Scan and MS
n
Scan
• SIM Scan
MS Scan
The full-scan MS (or MS
1
) scan type corresponds to a single stage of mass analysis—that is, a
scan power of n =1.
With the single-stage full scan, the ions formed in the API source are stored in the ion-routing
multipole (IRM). The mass spectrometer then transfers these ions to either the Orbitrap™ or
linear ion trap (LIT) to produce a full mass spectrum of the observable ions in the specified
mass range at a specific time point in the analysis.
