摘要:
A micro device (10) is constructed from a substrate (12) having a microchannel (18) formed therein and a cover plate (32) arranged over the substrate (12). The cover plate (32) in combination with the microchannel (18) at least partially defines a conduit (31) within the micro device (10). The conduit (32) has a surface that extends from an upstream region toward a downstream region and terminates at an opening. The micro device (10) also includes an annular lining (24A) that conforms to the conduit surface at the downstream region and extends from the opening (40) toward the upstream region in the conduit (31). An emitter (42) may be produced in situ by depositing an emitter material (42A) on the annular lining (24A). In addition, material may be removed from the cover plate (32) and/or substrate (12) about the opening (40). As a result, an exterior micro device surface is formed and a downstream portion of the emitter (42) is exposed that protrudes from the exterior surface.

摘要:
The invention described herein provides a mass spectrometry system, having an ion source including an ionization device for producing ions, a collection conduit adjacent to the ionization device for collecting ions produced by the ionization device, a first gas source for supplying gas to desolvate ions produced by the ionization device, a second gas source for supplying gas at a defined flow to the ionization region, and a detector downstream from the ion source for detecting ions produced by the ion source. The invention also provides an ion source including an ionization device for producing ions, a collection conduit adjacent to the ionization device for collecting ions produced by the ionization device, a first gas source for supplying gas to desolvate ions produced by the ionization device, and a second gas source for supplying gas at a defined flow to the ionization region. A method for producing analyte ions is also disclosed. The method includes producing analyte ions from an ionization device, directing a first heated gas toward the analyte ions to desolvate the analyte ions, and directing a second gas toward the analyte ions at a defined and continual flow rate.
摘要:
Provided are apparatuses and methods for introducing particles into a microdevice conduit (31). Also provided are microdevices (10) containing a plurality of particles that occupy at least about 25 volume percent of microconduit. In some instances, particles may controllably form a particle bridge in a bridging zone within a microdevice.
