LRMS includes QqQ, ion trap and QTRAP instruments while HRMS includes LIT-Orbitrap, Q-Orbitrap, Q-LIT-orbitrap, Q-TOF and TOF/TOF instruments.

b

Beam-type CID and HCD collisions in quadrupole or multipole cells typically produce numerous fragments, whereas trap-type CID collisions in ion traps yield fewer fragments.
