Abstract: A method and system for measuring an inert gas by an ion probe. Embedding a to-be-measured sample into an epoxy resin, to obtain a sample target, where the to-be-measured sample includes an inert gas atom; after putting the obtained sample target into an analysis chamber of the ion probe, vacuumizing the analysis chamber, where the ion probe includes a primary ion source, an electron gun, a mass analyzer, and an ion detector; bombarding the sample target by using a primary ion beam formed by the primary ion source to release the inert gas atom in the sample target; ionizing the released inert gas atom by using an electron beam formed by the electron gun to form an inert gas ion; and analyzing a secondary ion containing the inert gas ion by using the mass analyzer and the ion detector to achieve measurement of the inert gas.

Abstract: A package-level, integrated high-vacuum ion-chip enclosure having improved thermal characteristics is disclosed. Enclosures in accordance with the present invention include first and second chambers that are located on opposite sides of a chip carrier, where the chambers are fluidically coupled via a conduit through the chip carrier. The ion trap is located in the first chamber and disposed on the chip carrier. A source for generating an atomic flux is located in the second chamber. The separation of the source and ion trap in different chambers affords thermal isolation between them, while the conduit between the chambers enables the ion trap to receive the atomic flux.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to sample analysis systems and methods of use thereof. In certain aspects, the invention provides a system for analyzing a sample that includes an ion generator configured to generate ions from a sample. The system additionally includes an ion separator configured to separate at or above atmospheric pressure the ions received from the ion generator without use of laminar flowing gas, and a detector that receives and detects the separated ions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring air samples for the presence of the explosive TATP are disclosed. A preferred approach employs proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry PTR-MS). The system may be operated continuously on a real time or near real time basis. A delivery tube of specific dimensions and materials is employed to introduce the sample into the ionization chamber which in turn generates the ions which are delivered to the mass spectrometer for determining the m/z values. The system may employ a plurality of ionization chambers to reduce the amount of false negative identifiers. A multiple inlet ion funnel may be employed to combine the ions from each of the ionization chambers. Chemical ionization may be employed. A validation module may be employed to reduce the amount of false positive identifiers.

Abstract: The invention relates to turbo molecular pumps enabling high pumping speed. The disclosure suggests using one or more cage-like rotor stages to optimize pumping speed on vacuum systems with low gas flows and low ultimate pressures. This allows for a smaller motor as well as smaller overall form factor and makes it well suited, in particular, for compact mass spectrometers and desk-top mass spectrometers.

Abstract: An ion transfer device includes a tube, a resistive layer on an inside surface of the tube, and a dielectric layer on the resistive layer. The device defines a conduit providing a transfer path for gas and ions. The conduit is surrounded by the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer protects the resistive layer from the chemical environment in the conduit, while being thin enough to allow charges to pass through the dielectric layer and be dissipated by the resistive layer.
