How can LC-MSMS run both positive and negative ion modes simultaneously? How to operate on software?

  •  , While an LC/MS system may operate in both positive and negative ion polarity modes, it will switch between the two polarities based on the user input in the acquisition software. It is not possible to acquire in both polarities simultaneously but rather the MS switches between the two polarities (positive and negative) quickly or the user may define specific time segments in which different acquisitions take place in the defined time segments. 

    Which instrument model and version of acquisition software are you using? I may be able to provide an example.
