Abstract: In one aspect, an ion guide for use in a mass spectrometer is disclosed, which comprises a first plurality of conductive electrodes disposed on a first surface, a second plurality of conductive electrodes disposed on a second surface, wherein the two surfaces are positioned relative to one another and shaped so as to provide a passageway having an inlet for receiving an ion beam and an outlet through which target ions of interest exit the passageway. The ion guide further includes an orifice formed in at least one of those surfaces through which neutral species and/or large ion clusters, when present in the ion beam, exit the ion guide.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of assessing hydrophobicity of a target analyte is disclosed, which includes introducing a sin-gle-phase system containing a concentration of the target analyte into a mass spectrometer to acquire at least one mass signal associated with the target analyte, introducing a phase-separated system (e.g., a two-phase system) containing substantially the same concentration of the target analyte into the mass spectrometer to acquire at least one mass signal associated with said target analyte, and utilizing a ratio of the intensities of the mass signals to assess hydrophobicity of the target analyte.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer comprises a first mass filter for receiving a plurality of ions and having a transmission bandwidth configured to allow transmission of ions having m/z ratios within a desired range, and a second mass filter that is disposed downstream of the first mass filter for selecting ions having a target m/z value within a transmission window thereof for mass analysis. The transmission bandwidth of the first mass filter encompasses at least two m/z ratios of interest such that one of said m/z ratios corresponds to said target m/z value within the transmission window of said second mass filter.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for controlling contamination of components contained within the high-vacuum chambers of mass spectrometer systems are provided. The apparatus and methods employ a beam of neutral gas injected in a contra-flow configuration to incoming particle stream from the ionization chamber. The contra-flow can be in the directly opposite counter-flow direction (e.g., 180 degrees) or at a cross-flow angle to the incoming ion stream (e.g., flowing at an angle between about 10 degrees and 170 degrees). The contra-flow disrupts the axial gas flow and diverts neutral molecules and other undesirable contaminants before they reach the high vacuum stages (e.g., beyond the IQ0 orifice) of the spectrometer. By reducing the transmission of contaminants into the sensitive components housed deep within the mass spectrometer, the present invention can increase throughput, improve robustness, and/or decrease the downtime typically required to vent/disassemble/clean the fouled components.

Abstract: A method of analyzing a liquid with a mass analysis device having a bubble generating interface (BGI) and a removal conduit includes aspirating a sample into the removal conduit at an aspira-tion pressure. Concurrently with aspirating the sample at least one operational condition of the BGI is controlled to generate a plurality of bubbles in the sample. Concurrently with aspirating the sample the plurality of bubbles are aspirated into the removal conduit. The sample and the plurality of bubbles are analyzed with the mass analysis device to generate a signal.

Abstract: A method of evacuating a liquid sample from an open port interface (OPI) via a pressure drop includes applying the pressure drop to a transport liquid. This application generates a plurality of bubbles in the transport liquid during evacuation of the transport liquid from the OPI via a transfer conduit. The liquid sample is separated from a subsequent liquid sample by at least one of the generated bubbles.
