A detailed description is provided of a triple quadrupole (QQQ) tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) which is kinetically well behaved and can be configured to use either a molecular beam target (type A) or collision chamber (type B) configuration. Its unique capabilities are being used to explore design criteria essential for (i) absolute cross-section measurements, and for (ii) the development of standardized operating conditions for generic, instrument-independent spectral databases for collisionally activated dissociation (CAD).
