    摘要: The invention provides methods and apparatus for tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in which parent ions generated from a sample are passed through a mass filter (2) and are fragmented into daughter ions in fragmentation means (3), the daughter ions being passed through a discontinuous output mass analyser, such as a time-of-flight analyzer (16) or an ion storage device (29). The range of possible parent mass-to-charge ratios is split into a plurality of smaller ranges, and the mass filter (2) is set to pass ions of each smaller range in turn. A flag is set for each smaller range which produces daughter ions of interest, and the mass filter (2) is set to pass each mass-to-charge ratio of the flagged ranges so that the mass-to-charge ratios of the fragmented ions produced for each of the mass-to-charge ratios passed may be determined using the discontinuous analyser (16, 29). The flagged ranges may be themselves split into a plurality of still smaller ranges, which are correspondingly flagged.

    摘要: A continuous flow method of determining the quantitative isotopic composition of hydrogen comprised in a compound is disclosed, together with apparatus for carrying out the method. The method involves introducing the sample to be analysed into a flow of carrier gas which does not contain hydrogen, the carrier gas then being arranged to flow through a heated catalytic reactor which contain a chromium-based catalyst. The sample is pyrolysed in the catalytic reactor so as to form molecular hydrogen which is then analysed mass-spectrometrically. Preferably a gas chromatrograph is disposed before the catalytic reactor so that one or more components or a mixture may be separately analysed.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein a z-lens upstream of an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser is repeatedly switched between a first mode wherein ions are transmitted to the mass analyser for subsequent mass analysis with a relatively high transmission and a second mode wherein ions are transmitted with a relatively low transmission. If it is determined that mass spectral data obtained when the mass analyser is in the first mode is suffering from saturation, then suitably scaled mass spectral data obtained when the mass analyser is in the second mode is used instead. If the saturation is severe then the mass spectral data obtained in the first mode may be replaced in its entirety with mass spectral data obtained in the second mode.

    摘要: Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization sources for the mass spectrometric analysis of solutions, and associated methods. The apparatus and methods are characterised in that ions generated by APCI or electrospray are directed such that their directions of travel immediately on formation can be resolved into two perpendicular components, one of which is aligned with a linear first trajectory which passes through an entrance orifice, an extraction chamber and into an evacuation port through which the extraction chamber is evacuated. The direction of travel is such that the component of velocity so aligned is smaller than the component perpendicular to it. Ions leave the chamber along a second trajectory which is inclined at an angle between 30.degree. and 150.degree. to the linear first trajectory and may pass into a mass analyzer. The apparatus and method provide improved sensitivity and a lower noise level in comparison with prior apparatus and methods using APCI and electrospray ionization sources.
