    摘要: A Time-Of-Flight (TOF) mass analyzer is configured with a multipole ion guide in the ion path between the ion source and pulsing region of the mass analyzer, and enables trapping or transmission of ions from an atmospheric pressure ion source. The mass-to-charge (m/z) range(s) of ions transmitted through or trapped in the ion guide can be selected. Ions with stable trajectories can undergo Collisional Induced Dissociation (CID). During ion fragmentation, the ion guide potentials can be set to transmit or trap fragment ions produced by CID. The parent and fragment ion population can be delivered from the ion guide to the pulsing region of the TOF mass analyzer for mass analysis. After the first fragmentation step, the ion guide potentials can again be set to select a narrow m/z range to clear the ion guide in trapping mode of all but a selected set of fragment ions. M/z selection and ion fragmentation can be repeated a number of times with mass analysis occurring at the end of all the MS/MS.sup.n steps or at various times during the MS/MS.sup.n stepwise process. Additionally, the normally stepwise MS/MS.sup.n analysis function can be merged into a single step, increasing the effective duty cycle. In all embodiments, the ion guide can reside in one vacuum pumping stage or can extend continuously into more than one vacuum pumping stage.

    摘要: A Direct Sample Analysis (DSA) ion source system operating at essentially atmospheric pressure is configured to facilitate the ionization, or desorption and ionization, of sample species from a wide variety of gaseous, liquid, and/or solid samples, for chemical analysis by mass spectrometry or other gas phase ion detectors. The DSA system includes one or more means of ionizing samples and includes a sealed enclosure which provides protection from high voltages and hazardous vapors, and in which the local background gas environment may be monitored and well-controlled. The DSA system is configured to accommodate single or multiple samples at any one time, and provide external control of individual sample positioning, sample conditioning, sample heating, positional sensing, and temperature measurement.

    摘要: A Time-Of-Flight mass analyzer includes a multipole ion guide located in the ion flight path between the ion source and the flight tube of the Time-Of-Flight mass analyzer. In one preferred embodiment, a Time-Of-Flight (TOF) mass analyzer is configured such that a multipole ion guide is positioned in the ion path between the ion source and the ion pulsing region of the TOF mass analyzer. The multipole ion guide electronics and the ion guide entrance and exit electrostatic lenses are configured to enable the trapping or passing through of ions delivered from an atmospheric pressure ion source. The ion guide electronics can be set to select the mass to charge (m/z) range of ions which can be successfully transmitted or trapped in the ion guide. More than one set of m/z values can be selected using techniques such as notch filtering with resonant frequency ion ejection of unwanted m/z values. All or a portion of the ions with stable ion guide trajectories in transmission or trapping mode can then undergo Collisional Induced Dissociation (CID) using one of at least three techniques. During the ion fragmentation step the multipole ion guide AC and DC electric potentials are set to transmit or trap all or a portion of the fragment ions produced by the CID process. All or a portion of the parent and fragment ion population are delivered from the multipole ion guide to the pulsing region of Time-OF-Flight mass analyzer for mass analysis. After the first ion fragmentation step, the multipole ion guide AC and DC electric potentials can again be set to select a narrow m/z range to clear the ion guide in trapping mode of all but a selected set of fragment ions. The m/z selection and ion fragmentation step can be repeated a number of times with mass analysis occurring at the end of all the MS/MSn steps or at various times during the MS/MSn stepwise process. A technique is also described where the normally stepwise MS/MSn analysis function can be merged into a single step, increasing the effective duty cycle. The multipole ion guide used for ion transmission, trapping and fragmentation can reside in one vacuum pumping stage or can extend continuously into more than one vacuum pumping stage.

    摘要: A Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (TOF-MS) is configured to improve resolution and sensitivity performance. The TOF-MS includes an arrangement of electrodes comprising an ion accelerator with two stages of homogeneous electric fields, an ion reflector with a single stage of a homogeneous electric field, accelerator and reflector being separated by a first drift space, and an ion detector which is separated from the reflector by a second drift space. Contrary to known TOF-MS of similar configuration, the set of electric potentials which must be applied to said electrodes is predetermined for a given geometry in such a way that a spatial distribution of ions initially at rest in the first gap of the said accelerator is compressed at the location of the detector in the longitudinal direction to a focus of first and second order in the initial axial coordinate. Therefore, mass resolution is enhanced over a TOF-MS that provides only for longitudinal focusing of first order, while the number of passages through grid electrodes along the flight path is reduced, and hence ion transmission and instrument sensitivity are improved.
