    Abstract: An optimal value is calculated for at least one parameter of an ADE device, an OPI, or an ion source device. For each value of a plurality of parameter values for at least one parameter of the ADE device, the OPI, or the ion source device, three steps are performed using a processor. First, the at least one parameter is set to the value. Second, the ADE device, the OPI, the ion source device, and a mass spectrometer are instructed to produce one or more intensity versus time mass peaks for a sample. Third, a feature value is calculated for at least one feature of the one or more intensity versus time mass peaks. A plurality of feature values corresponding to the plurality of parameter values is produced. An optimal value is calculated for the at least one parameter from the plurality of feature values.

    Abstract: In one aspect, an ion source for use in a mass spectrometry system is disclosed, which comprises a housing, a first and a second ion probe coupled to said housing, and a first and a second emitter configured for coupling, respectively, to said first and second ion probes. The first ion probe is configured for receiving a sample at a flow rate in nanoflow regime and the second ion probe is configured for receiving a sample at a flow rate above the nanoflow regime. Each of the ion probes includes a discharge end (herein also referred to as the discharge tip) for ionizing at least one constituent of the received sample. In some embodiment, each ion probe receives the sample from a liquid chromatography (LC) column. Further, the ion probes can be interchangeably disposed within the housing.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is directed to a sample processing system for analyzing a biological sample from a patient. The sample processing system comprises: a plurality of analyzers comprising at least one mass spectrometer, wherein each analyzer in the plurality of analyzers is configured to acquire at least one measurement value corresponding to at least one characteristic of the biological sample; at least one data storage component which stores (i) a list of parameters for the plurality of analyzers, and (ii) at least two condition sets, which contain data associated with completing one or more test orders. The condition sets contain data which differ by at least one variable; and a control system operatively coupled to the plurality of analyzers, and the at least one data storage component. The control system is configured to (i) determine which condition set of the at least two condition sets to use based on the determined condition set, (ii) determine which analyzer or analyzers of the plurality of analyzers to use to process each test order based on the determined condition set and one or more parameters from the list of parameters, and (iii) cause the determined analyzer or analyzers to acquire one or more measurement values for the biological sample.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a mass spectrometer is disclosed, which comprises a Fourier Transform (FT) mass analyzer having an input port for receiving ions and an exit port through which the ions exit the FT mass analyzer, a detector disposed downstream of said FT analyzer for detecting ions exiting the FT analyzer, and a multi-segment ion guide having a plurality of segments, said multi-segment ion guide being disposed upstream of said FT mass analyzer and having an input port for receiving ions and an output port through which ions exit the FT mass analyzer. The segments of the ion guide are configured to be independently activated via application of a DC offset voltage thereto so as to adjust a length through which ions passing through the ion guide experience collisional cooling.

    Abstract: Before each sample of a series of batch samples is introduced into a liquid sample delivery device, an ion source device receives aqueous mobile phase solution from the liquid sample delivery device and ionizes its compounds, producing an ion beam. A tandem mass spectrometer performs a neutral loss or precursor ion scan on the ion beam to measure intensities of two or more precursor ions corresponding to a known aqueous mobile phase solution compound. Intensity measurements for each of the two or more different precursor ions are compared to previously stored intensities to determine the threshold times at which these measurements indicate orifice contamination. A threshold time is then predicted for a known compound of interest of the batch samples based on the m/z value of the known compound of interest and the m/z value and the threshold time of each of the two or more different precursor ions.

    Abstract: A plurality of known compounds with known CCS values is analyzed using a DMS device. The DMS device determines how the intensities of their transmitted ions vary with different separation voltages (SVs) and compensation voltages (CVs). A machine learning algorithm builds a data model from the known m/z value, known CCS value, and measured pairs of CV and SV values that provide optimal transmission through the DMS device for each of the known compounds. An unknown compound with an unknown CCS value is then analyzed. The DMS device determines how the intensity of its ions varies with the same different SVs and CVs. Finally, the machine learning algorithm predicts the CCS value of the unknown compound from the data model, the known m/z of the unknown compound, and the measured pairs of CV and SV values that provide optimal transmission through the DMS device for the unknown compound.
