    摘要: The invention relates to methods and devices for the transport of ions generated in gases near atmospheric pressure into the vacuum system of a mass spectrometer. Instead of the single capillary customary in commercial instruments, the invention uses a multichannel plate with hundreds of thousands of very short and narrow capillaries, whose total gas throughput is no higher than that of a normal single capillary. The large-area take-up of ions in the gas flow greatly increases the transfer yield. If the channels are conductive, this prevents the inside surfaces becoming charged. An ion funnel can separate the ions from the gas flow in the vacuum and focus them. Gas-dynamic focusing in an electric decelerating field reduces ion losses caused by wall collisions and prevents very light ions (protons, water clusters) from entering the vacuum. Staged multichannel plates reduce pumping requirements.

    摘要: The invention relates to a mass spectrometric mixture analysis to determine both simple mass spectra of the substances as well as more detailed information about structures and other characteristics of the substances. The invention consists in temporally separating the substance mixture in a separating device, splitting the eluating flow of substances into at least two partial flows and measuring the substances in the different partial flows by mass spectrometry. A direct measurement provides a series of spectra whose evaluation is used for optimal control of the time at which a spectrum of another, delayed partial flow is acquired and the type of this measurement procedure. The substances of the delayed partial flows or their ions can thereby be chemically or physically modified in a variety of ways in order to provide the molecular weight as well as more detailed information.
