摘要: In one aspect, an ion filter for use in a mass spectrometer is disclosed, which includes a plurality of rods arranged in a multipole configuration to provide a passageway through which ions can travel, said plurality of rods being configured for application of RF voltages thereto to provide an electromagnetic field within the passageway for providing radial confinement of the ions and further configured for application of a DC voltage thereto. At least two pairs of auxiliary electrodes are interspersed between the plurality of rods and are configured for application of a DC bias voltage with one polarity to one of said pairs and a DC bias voltage with an opposite polarity to the other one of said pairs to provide a DC potential difference between the auxiliary electrodes and the plurality of rods.

摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for timed introduction of samples into a mass spectrometer may include receiving a plurality of sample ion pulses in a mass spectrometer from a sampling interface, where the sample ion pulses are received at a pre-determined time pattern; detecting the received sample ion pulses to generate a signal; isolating an analyte signal by signal conditioning the generated signal based on the pre-determined time pattern; and identifying a presence of an analyte based on the isolated analyte signal. The signal conditioning may include pulse-based averaging based on the pre-determined time pattern or may include converting the generated signal to a frequency-domain signal and calculating a modulus to isolate the analyte signal. The pre-determined time pattern may be periodic where the signal conditioning comprises performing a Fourier Transform on the signal to convert it to a frequency-domain signal.

摘要: In one aspect, an ion guide for use in a mass spectrometer is disclosed, which comprises a first plurality of conductive electrodes disposed on a first surface, a second plurality of conductive electrodes disposed on a second surface, wherein the two surfaces are positioned relative to one another and shaped so as to provide a passageway having an inlet for receiving an ion beam and an outlet through which target ions of interest exit the passageway. The ion guide further includes an orifice formed in at least one of those surfaces through which neutral species and/or large ion clusters, when present in the ion beam, exit the ion guide.

摘要: In one aspect, a method of assessing hydrophobicity of a target analyte is disclosed, which includes introducing a sin-gle-phase system containing a concentration of the target analyte into a mass spectrometer to acquire at least one mass signal associated with the target analyte, introducing a phase-separated system (e.g., a two-phase system) containing substantially the same concentration of the target analyte into the mass spectrometer to acquire at least one mass signal associated with said target analyte, and utilizing a ratio of the intensities of the mass signals to assess hydrophobicity of the target analyte.

摘要: A mass spectrometer comprises a first mass filter for receiving a plurality of ions and having a transmission bandwidth configured to allow transmission of ions having m/z ratios within a desired range, and a second mass filter that is disposed downstream of the first mass filter for selecting ions having a target m/z value within a transmission window thereof for mass analysis. The transmission bandwidth of the first mass filter encompasses at least two m/z ratios of interest such that one of said m/z ratios corresponds to said target m/z value within the transmission window of said second mass filter.
