    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to flame based detection methods for compressed mobile phase chromatography. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the operation of a flame ionization detector for carbon dioxide based chromatography, such as supercritical fluid chromatography. The present disclosure includes a method of matching a chromatographic column with a flame ionization detector inner burner including providing a chromatographic column with an internal diameter, determining an optimal mobile phase flow rate for the chromatographic column, calculating an optimal inner diameter of the inner burner that combined with the internal diameter and flow rate of the column produces optimal detector performance, and providing a flame ionization detector inner burner having an inner diameter substantially equal to the calculated optimal inner diameter.

    Abstract: Thermally modulated variable restrictors used in chromatography systems enable independent control of system pressure and linear velocity of a compressible mobile phase passing through a chromatographic column. The restrictors include a restrictor body having a fluidic channel with an inlet that receives the mobile phase from the column and an outlet through which the mobile phase leaves the fluidic channel. A restrictor tip, disposed adjacent the outlet of the fluidic channel, has an egress opening that is smaller than an internal diameter of the fluidic channel. A heating element, thermally coupled to a subsection of the fluidic channel between its inlet and outlet, heats the mobile phase passing through that subsection of the fluidic channel. The restriction produced by the restrictor tip in response to the heating of the mobile phase enables independent control of system pressure and linear velocity of the mobile phase within the column.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for performing mass spectrometry. A quadrupole, or more generally, an electrode-based device, performs mass filtering for selectively filtering ions. One or more components generate a first RF potential, a DC potential, and a supplemental RF potential applied to the quadrupole. The supplemental RF potential has a corresponding multiple notched waveform having a plurality of corresponding frequencies thereby allowing a plurality of ions to pass through the quadrupole at a same time. Each of the plurality of corresponding frequencies corresponds to a notch in the waveform allowing one of the plurality of ions of a different mass or m/z to pass through the quadrupole for processing by another component or device.

    Abstract: The invention provides interfaces between analytical instruments, e.g., between chromatography systems and mass spectrometers. In an exemplary embodiment, an ion source is provided for connecting a carbon dioxide-based chromatograph device to a mass spectrometer. The ion source includes a first conduit for receiving eluent from the chromatography device, a heater for heating at least a portion of said first conduit, a second conduit in fluid communication with the first conduit, an inlet for receiving eluent from said second conduit and introducing the eluent into an ion source region to form a plume of gas and/or liquid in the ion source region, and an ionization promoting inlet for injecting an ionization promoting fluid into the ion source region to interact with the plume to promote ionization of at least some of the plume.
