In one embodiment, a system includes a mass analyzer, an ion source for providing ions to the mass analyzer, a detector for detecting an output of the mass analyzer, and a frequency-selectable power source. The frequency-selectable power source may include an energy supply configured to provide high-voltage radio-frequency (RF) energy to the mass analyzer at individually selectable first and second frequencies, and a frequency selector for switching between the individually selectable first and second frequencies.
