The combination of a linear quadrupole ion-filter and linear Paul trap operated with a rectangular guiding field for the filtering and accumulation of ions within the Mass Spectrometry for Single Particle Imaging of Dipole Oriented protein Complexes (MS SPIDOC) prototype [T. Kierspel et al., Anal. Bioanal. Chem., published online] is characterized. Using cationic caesium-iodide clusters, the ion-separation performance, ion accumulation, cooling, and ejection via in-trap pin electrodes is evaluated. Furthermore, proof-of-principle measurements are performed with 64 kDa multiply-charged non-covalent protein complexes of human hemoglobin and 804 kDa non-covalent complex of GroEL, to demonstrate that the module meets the criteria to handle high-mass ions which are the main objective of the MS SPIDOC project. The setup's performance is found to be in line with previous results from ion-trajectory simulations [F. Simke et al., Int. J. Mass Spectrom.473 (2022) 116779].
