    摘要: A mass biosensor method provides enhanced quantification of analyte concentrations in a sample. In a direct approach, an analyte is derivatized to form an analyte chelate and then specifically bound to a sensor. In an indirect approach, a complement of the analyte is derivatized to form a complement chelate which is then bound to a sensor. In a direct/indirect hybrid approach, an analog of the analyte is derivatized to form an analog chelate that is bound to a sensor in competition with the sample analyte. In all three approaches, mass measurements taken as the ligand chelate attaches to the sensor permit the concentration of the analyte in the sample to be calculated. Once measurement is completed, a dissociation treatment is applied to dissociate the derivatized species from the sensor so that the sensor can be reused. The effects of the dissociation treatment can be monitored using phosphorescence detection. The results obtained during monitoring can be compared with a predetermined threshold to ensure complete dissociation while avoiding alteration of the sensor surface. This procedure permits precision renewal of a sensor to maximize the number of times a sensor can be used. Moreover, this method allows quantification to be performed using the same sensor and coating in place during calibration, minimizing systematic errors and enhancing quantification accuracy.

    摘要: A technique that modulates the power of a inductively coupled plasma (ICP) according to the operative modes of a spectrometer. An analytical apparatus of the present invention contains an inductively coupled plasma generator (ICPG) and a spectrometer. The ICPG generates a plasma for forming ionic and excited molecular species from a sample. The spectrometer analyzes the ionic and excited molecular species formed. The spectrometer operates in an analysis mode wherein the ionic and excited molecular species are identified according to physical characteristics of the species to provide data on the species and further has a washout mode wherein the spectrometer flushes out interfering ions and molecules and provides no significant data on the sample. The controller modulates the ICPG to operate in power cycles, at each cycle the ICPG operates in an analysis period and a stand-by period. By modulating the plasma power, the power consumption and heat dissipation can be reduced. When such a power modulated plasma source is coupled to, for example, a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS), high analytical performance can be achieved with simultaneous multi-element detection capability.

    摘要: The present invention includes a heat sealable capsule adapted for use in analysis devices such as GCs, and methods for using the capsules to perform analysis in such devices. The capsules include a tube having an end that is heat-sealed to contain a sample that is to be analyzed at an injection temperature. The tube includes a heat sealable medium having a heat seal that closes the end, the tube having an inner and outer surface, both of the surfaces being substantially chemically inert with respect to the sample. The tube is substantially free of any material that outgases at the injection temperature. The tube is openable without breaking into pieces, and remains intact at the injection temperature. The capsule can include a programmable tag that stores information related to the sample contained therein.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for analyzing ions by determining times of flight include establishing an encoded sequence for launching packets of ions from a source region toward a detector. The encoded sequence is one in which the high-mass ions of a leading packet will be passed by the low-mass ions of a trailing packet. Thus, a high efficiency time-of-flight mass spectrometer is formed. The ions of each packet are acted upon to bunch the ions of the packet, thereby compensating for initial space and/or velocity distributions of ions in the launching of the packet. The times of arrival of the ions are determined at the detector to obtain a signal of overlapping spectra corresponding to the overlapping launched packets. A correlation between the overlapping spectra and the encoded launch sequence is employed to derive a single non-overlapped spectrum.
