Differences in recording positive and negative ion chemical ionization mass spectra on a quadrupole mass spectrometer are discussed. An analog positive and negative ion electron multiplier detector is described which is well suited for a quadrupole instrument. This detector significantly reduces baseline noise in the negative ion mode and improves positive ion high mass sensitivity.
