    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a first chamber (10) and a second chamber (5). The second chamber (5) is located downstream of the first chamber 10 and an inter-chamber aperture (12) is provided between the two chambers (5,10). An ion guide (13) is located in the first chamber (10) and an ion mobility spectrometer (6) is located in the second chamber (5). Helium gas is provided to the first chamber (10). As ions are accelerated towards the ion mobility spectrometer 6 from a relatively low pressure region they pass initially into the first chamber (10). The helium gas provided in the first chamber (10) minimises ion fragmentation and ion discrimination effects as ions are accelerated into a relatively high pressure region. The ions are then transmitted by the ion guide (13) and are subsequently transmitted to the ion mobility spectrometer (6) located in the second chamber (5).

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) arranged upstream of a collision or fragmentation cell (8). Ions are separated according to their ion mobility within the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6). The kinetic energy of the ions exiting the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) is increased substantially linearly with time in order to optimise the fragmentation energy of ions as they enter the collision or fragmentation cell (8). During the time that the potential of the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) is being varied, the potential of ion-optical components upstream of the ion mobility spectrometer or separator (6) such as an ion source (1), ion guide (2), quadrupole mass filter (3), optional second collision or fragmentation cell (4) and an ion trapping device (5) are kept constant.

    摘要: An ion guide (7a) is disclosed comprising one or more layers of intermediate planar, plate or mesh electrodes (2). A first array of first electrodes (8a-8e) is provided on an upper surface and a second array of second electrodes (9a-9e) is arranged on a lower surface. An ion guiding region is formed within the ion guide (7a). One or more transient DC voltages or potentials are preferably applied to the first and second array of second electrodes (8a-8e, 9a-9e) in order to urge, propel, force or accelerate ions through or along the ion guide (7a).

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed having an ion guide which receives ions from either a pulsed ion source or an ion trap, or a continuous ion source. The ion guide emits packets of ions. The pulses of ions emitted from the ion guide may be synchronised with another device such as an ion detector, an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser, an ion trap or a mass filter.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion trap wherein ions which have been temporally separated according to their mass to charge ratio or ion mobility enter the ion trap. Once at least some of the ions have entered the ion trap, a plurality of ion trapping regions are created along the length of the ion trap in order to fractionate the ions. Alternatively, the ions may be received within one or more axial trapping regions which are translated along the ion trap with a velocity which is progressively reduced to zero.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is disclosed having a gas collision cell. An AC or RF ion guide comprising a plurality of ring electrodes which preferably have the same internal diameter is provided within the gas collision cell. The ion guide extends upstream and/or downstream of the gas collision cell so that ions may be continuously radially confined as they pass from a vacuum chamber maintained at a relatively low pressure, through an inlet differential pumping aperture to the gas collision cell, through the gas collision cell and then out of the gas collision cell through an outlet differential pumping aperture.
