We are pleased to announce the forthcoming publications by Taylor and Francis (CRC Press) of Volumes 4 and 5 of the mini-series Practical Aspects of Trapped Ion Mass Spectrometry, edited by Raymond E. March and John F.J. Todd, members of BMSS. Volumes 1–3 were published in 1995 under the title Practical Aspects of Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry. Volume 3, “Chemical, Environmental and Biomedical Applications”, is a companion to Volumes 1 and 2, subtitled “Fundamentals of Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry” and “Ion Trap Instrumentation”, respectively. Volumes 1–3 are concerned principally with the history, theory, and applications of the quadrupole ion trap and, to a lesser degree, of the quadrupole mass filter. Volume 5, which is to be published on October 5, 2009, under the title Practical Aspects of Trapped Ion Mass Spectrometry, and subtitled “Applications”, is a companion to Volume 4, subtitled “Theory and Instrumentation”, which is to be published at the end of February, 2010. Upon reflection, one is struck by the spectacular progress that has been made in the ion-trapping field since 1995. The advent of electrospray ionization (ESI) and its ready compatibility with ion trapping devices has brought about a revolution in the accessibility of covalent compounds for examination by mass spectrometry in general, and by quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry in particular. For their development of soft desorption ionization methods for mass spectrometric analyses of biological macromolecules, John Fenn and Koicho Tanaka received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2002. The enormous impact that electrospray ionization has made in biochemistry in general, and in the study of proteins especially, is remarkable. Virtually every mass spectrometry laboratory is equipped now with electrospray ionization; compounds previously for which derivatization was essential for examination by electron impact, can be examined facilely in solution now by direct infusion to an electrospray ionization source. As testament to this situation, more than half of the chapters presented in Volumes 4 and 5 are concerned with the use of electrospray ionization. The practice of trapping gaseous ions and the applications thereof have expanded considerably during the past decade or so, in part, due to the use of electrospray ionization, but also as witnessed by the substantial growth in popularity of quadrupole ion traps and of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometers, instruments that hitherto were regarded as being rival rather than complementary

technologies. In addition, we have seen the nascence of new methods for trapping ions, such as the Orbitrap™, the digital ion trap (DIT), the rectilinear ion trap (RIT), and the toroidal ion trap. Furthermore, during this period, there have been significant advances in the development and application of the quadrupole ion trap and of the quadrupole mass filter, both standalone and in concatenation with other mass spectrometric instruments, for example, with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and with time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers. New and/or modified existing methods for ion processing have been developed and applied; these methods include electron capture dissociation (ECD), electron transfer dissociation (ETD), charge inversion, proton transfer reaction (PTR), electron transfer (ET), and ion attachment (IA). Other recent advances involving the coupling of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with mass spectrometry have brought about the introduction of high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) and traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry (TWIM-MS). Indeed, so many advances have occurred in the ion-trapping field that we needed to consider a somewhat broader definition of ion trapping compared with that which has been employed hitherto; after several iterations, we arrived at the definition proposed in Section 1.1 of Volume 4, that is, “an ion is ‘trapped’ when its residence time within a defined spatial region exceeds that had the motion of the ion not been impeded in some way.” Clearly, this definition includes those various forms of ion mobility spectrometry mentioned above. Armed with this definition of ‘trapped ions,’ it seemed appropriate to the editors that a further volume in this mini-series could be undertaken, not limited to quadrupole devices but encompassing advances in all aspects of trapped ion mass spectrometry. When a commercial product has achieved a degree of market acceptance, which we believed was the case for the three volumes of Practical Aspects of Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry, one is reluctant to lose the connectivity within the mini-series upon embracing an expansion of the field in question. Fortunately, a minor word change to Practical Aspects of Trapped Ion Mass Spectrometry saved the day. With this small but significant change in title, the expanded field could be considered and included within the ‘practical aspects of ion trapping’ rubric. The collective response to our subsequent approaches to potential authors in the expanded ion-trapping field was near
