Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering a liquid sample to an ion source for the generation of ions and subsequent analysis by mass spectrometry are provided herein. In accordance with various aspects of the present teachings, MS-based systems and methods are provided in which the flow of desorption solvent within a sampling probe fluidly coupled to an ion source can be selectively controlled such that one or more analyte species can be desorbed from a sample substrate inserted within the sampling probe within a decreased volume of desorption solvent for subsequently delivery to the ion source. In various aspects, sensitivity can be increased due to higher desorption efficiency (e.g., due to increased desorption time) and/or decreased dilution of the desorbed analytes. The methods and systems described herein can additionally or alternatively provide for the selective control of the flow rate of the desorption solvent within the sampling interface so as to enable additional processing steps to occur within the sampling probe (e.g., multiple samplings, reactions).

Abstract: In one aspect, a mass analyzer is disclosed, which comprises a quadrupole having an input end for receiving ions and an output end through which ions can exit the quadrupole, said quadrupole having a plurality of rods to at least some of which an RF voltage can be applied for generating a quadrupolar field for causing radial confinement of the ions as they propagate through the quadrupole and further generating fringing fields in proximity of said output end. The mass analyzer further includes at least a voltage source for applying a voltage pulse to at least one of said rods so as to excite radial oscillations of at least a portion of the ions passing through the quadrupole at secular frequencies thereof, where the radially-excited ions interact with the fringing fields as they exit the quadrupole such that their radial oscillations are converted into axial oscillations.

Abstract: MS-based methods and systems are provided herein in which a desorption solvent desorbs one or more analyte species from an SPME device within a sampling interface that is fluidly coupled to an ion source for subsequent mass spectrometric analysis. In accordance with various aspects of the applicants teachings, the sampling interface includes an internal sampling conduit that provides increased interaction between the desorption solvent and the sampling substrate, thereby improving mass transfer (e.g., increased extraction or desorption speed).

Abstract: A system and method are provided for loading a sample into an analytical instrument using acoustic droplet ejection (“ADE”) in combination with a continuous flow sampling probe. An acoustic droplet ejector is used to eject small droplets of a fluid sample containing an analyte into the sampling tip of a continuous flow sampling probe, where the acoustically ejected droplet combines with a continuous, circulating flow stream of solvent within the flow probe. Fluid circulation within the probe transports the sample through a sample transport capillary to an outlet that directs the analyte away from the probe to an analytical instrument, e.g., a device that detects the presence, concentration quantity, and/or identity of the analyte. When the analytical instrument is a mass spectrometer or other type of device requiring the analyte to be in ionized form, the exiting droplets pass through an ionization region, e.g., an electrospray ion source, prior to entering the mass spectrometer or other analytical instrument. The method employs active flow control and enables real-time kinetic measurements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for separating and distinguishing between isotopic or isobaric opioid and/or benzodiazepine species within a sample. The method comprises introducing ions of the sample to an inlet of a differential mobility spectrometer (DMS), introducing a transport gas to carry the ions through the DMS, supplying an acetate modifier to the transport gas to modify the differential mobility of the ions, transporting the ions through the DMS in the presences of the acetate modifier and selectively transporting each of the species by selectively applying a corresponding compensation voltage for that species to allow that species to transport through and exit from the DMS.

Abstract: A separation device receives a known or unknown glycan that is co-injected with three different oligomers maltooligosaccharide (MOL). A detector measures the separated glycan and the separated three different oligomers as intensity peaks that are a function of migration time. The migration times of a plurality of other oligomers of MOL are calculated from the migration times of the three different oligomers. Glucose unit (GU) values for the intensity peaks of the separated glycan are calculated by comparing their migration times to the calculated migration times of the plurality of other oligomers of MOL. The processor identifies the structure of the glycan by comparing the calculated GU values of the intensity peaks of the separated glycan to a database of GU values for known glycan structures.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of performing mass spectrometry is disclosed, which comprises ionizing a sample to generate a plurality of precursor ions, passing the precursor ions through a mass filter to select at least one subset of the ions, introducing the selected ions into a branched radiofrequency (RF) ion trap and subjecting at least a portion of said selected precursor ions to fragmentation within the ion trap so as to generate a first plurality of fragment ions. The method can further include isolating at least a portion of the first plurality of fragment ions in at least one branch of the branched RF ion trap, removing unwanted fragment ions, releasing the remaining ions from said at least one branch and subjecting at least a portion thereof to fragmentation so as to generate a second plurality of fragment ions. Any combination of collision induced dissociation (CID) and electron activation dissociation (EAD) can be employed for fragmenting the ions.
