    摘要: An ion processing device includes electrically conductive vacuum manifold segments serially positioned and enclosing a volume along an axis. The segments are electrically isolated from each other and independently addressable by a voltage source. An ion optics device is positioned in the volume. A voltage differential between each manifold segment and the ion optics device is maintained below a maximum value by applying different voltages to respective manifold segments. The voltage differential may be controlled to avoid voltage breakdown in a low-pressure, high-voltage gas environment. The ion optics device may in some cases be an ion mobility drift cell.

    摘要: An electrode assembly is provided in a high sub-atmospheric pressure region of an ion source, between an ionization chamber and a vacuum region of a spectrometer, such as a mass spectrometer, an ion mobility spectrometer, or an ion mobility-mass spectrometer. The electrode assembly is spaced at a distance from an outlet of an ion transfer device. A voltage source imparts a potential difference between the ion transfer device and the electrode assembly to accelerate ions emitted from the outlet to a collision energy. The collision energy is effective to cause collisional heating of ions in the high sub-atmospheric pressure region without voltage breakdown. The collision energy may be set to cause unfolding of folded biomolecular ions and/or dissociation of ions.

    摘要: The collision cross section (CCS) of a sample ion may be calculated by measuring a total drift time taken by the sample ion to travel through an ion mobility spectrometry drift cell to an ion detector. The CCS may be calculated based on the total drift time measured, and on a proportionality coefficient that defines the time taken by the sample ion to travel through a mobility dominated region between the drift cell and the detector. The proportionality coefficient may be determined from measuring the total drift times of reference ions. Calculation of the CCS of the sample ion may also be based on a proportionality coefficient that defines the time taken by the sample ion to travel through a mobility-independent region where the velocity of the ion depends on the electrostatic field strength, mass and the charge state of the ion.

    摘要: In an ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) system, an ion mass-isolated data set is acquired by operating a mass filter to apply a mass isolation window having an m/z width such that the mass isolation window moves through a sequence of window positions, each window position being defined by an IM drift time value and an m/z ratio value. The m/z width of the mass isolation window and the sequence of window positions are determined such that the mass isolation window captures ions in a region of interest of a larger all-ions data set. The isolation window may be a wideband isolation window. In comparison to the all-ions data set, the mass-isolated data set may yield reduced ion signal interference and increased selectivity for analytes of interest.

    摘要: Multiplexed ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), mass spectrometry (MS) such as time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS), or hybrid IM-MS is carried out on a sample, and the resulting measurement data are deconvoluted. A pulse sequence controlling ion pulsing is utilized in conjunction with the multiplexing. The pulse sequence may be modified based on the raw measurement data acquired. A demultiplexing matrix based on the modified pulse sequence is utilized to improve deconvolution.

    摘要: An interface for an ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) system includes a first ion guide for receiving ions from an IMS drift cell, and a second ion guide for receiving ions from the first ion guide, and positioned in a chamber separate from the first ion guide. Electrodes of the second ion guide subject the ions to an axial DC electric field while the second ion guide is held at a lower pressure than the first ion guide. In some embodiments, the first ion guide may be an ion funnel and the second ion guide may be a linear multipole device.
