    摘要: An ion guide includes a plurality of curved electrodes arranged along a curved central axis. The plurality of electrodes define a curved ion guide region, with the curved ion guide region beginning at an ion entrance and ending at an ion exit. The ion guide includes an ion deflecting device configured to apply a radial DC electric field across the ion guide region and along the curved central axis. The ion guide region has a radius of curvature that varies along the curved central axis, and the radius of curvature is at a maximum at the ion entrance and decreases along the curved central axis toward the ion exit.

    摘要: A nebulizer includes a gas transport conduit having a gas inlet for receiving a nebulizer gas and an outlet, the gas transport conduit defining a longitudinal axis along flow direction of the nebulizer gas; and an analyte supply conduit extending into the gas transport conduit along the longitudinal axis, the analyte supply conduit having at least one side aperture configured to emit analyte from the analyte supply conduit into the gas transport conduit in a direction off-axis from the longitudinal axis of the gas transport conduit.

    摘要: An inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch includes: an injector defining an injector flow passage to receive a flow of a sample fluid; a plurality of tubes disposed about the injector and configured to receive and direct a flow of one or more torch gases; an induction device disposed about the plurality of tubes, the induction device configured to receive a radio-frequency electric current to inductively energize at least one of the one or more torch gases to produce a plasma proximate a distal end of the ICP torch; and a plasma steering system including a plurality of nozzles adjacent a distal end of the injector flow passage and configured to receive and direct a flow of steering fluid to impinge and redirect the flow of sample fluid and to thereby redirect an ionized sample resulting from the interaction of the sample fluid with the plasma.
