| Abstract |
This paper is a personal perspective of the commercial development of the three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. Early ion trap invention and development which dates back to 1953, is described. The development of the ion trap is traced through three ages with the last age being where commercial development takes place. Key technical breakthroughs in ion trap technology and commercialization are presented and described up to the present time. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 January 2020.
All research outputs
#5,447,195
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
#555
of 3,835 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,008
of 126,578 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
#5
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,835 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 126,578 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
