    摘要: An improved electrospray (ES) apparatus has a low pressure ES chamber coupled to a desolvation chamber. The desolvation chamber desolvates the incoming analyte ions of the cone-jet with non-conductive energy. The apparatus stabilizes cone-jet formation in the ES chamber. The apparatus receives solvated ions without pressure reduction, produces desolvated ions with non-conductive energy in a low pressure region, and outputs the desolvated ions towards a mass spectrometer as a substantially solvent-free ion beam suitable for mass spectrometer analysis. The apparatus avoids the degree of pressure reduction featured in prior ES techniques.

    摘要: An improved method and apparatus for performing Mass spectrometry, in particular, Liquid chromatography/Mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is disclosed. Controlled generation of individual charged droplets enables the subsequent steps of trapping, desolvation and concentration. Miniaturization is also enabled. In contrast, conventional means of forming Electrosprays are chaotic, generating large numbers of charged droplets simultaneously. Additional flows of gas are provided in a nebulization region to effectively remove undesired solvent vapor and concentrate desirable analyte containing droplets and/or analyte ions. A semipermeable structure is used to effectively separate associated gas flow streams. Ions are concentrated or trapped using electrodes which are bound in the nebulization region and are appropriately electrically biased so as to concentrate the ions on one side, or in the center, or in a ring of the laminar gas stream. Additionally, a valve may be used to interrupt the flow gas into a detector region.

    摘要: Apparatus for the detection of analytes in a fluid, for example the eluant from a liquid chromatography is described. Solvent is evaporated from the eluant to produce a stream of particles when analyte is present in the fluid. The resultant stream of particles is passed through one or more beams of radiation, typically visible light, and radiation scattered by the particles is detected at least at a first angle to a beam of radiation and at a second, different, angle to a radiation beam to produce a signal indicative of the presence of the analyte.Chromatographic apparatus incorporating the detector and methods of operating the detector and chromatographic apparatus are also described.

    摘要: A non-reactive electrospray needle structure that can be used with relatively low electrical potential introduced externally at a selectable location along the length of the needle structure. The electrospray device or apparatus includes a non-conductive tube with an inner diameter, with one end of the tube having a reduced inner diameter thereby forming a tip. The tube is configured to have a fracture in it, positioned a predetermined or selectable distance from the tip. An electrically conductive path, such as a wire or electrode, is provided external to the tube and proximate to the fracture. A collar surrounds the tube proximate the fracture. The electrically conductive path provides a voltage potential to charge the spray. The collar maintains the conductive path in place, seals the tube at the fracture, and provides structural strength. In one embodiment, the tube is packed with a binding material to form a column bed.

    摘要: Described is an apparatus for photoionization of an analyte in an eluent of a chromatography column. The apparatus includes a laser to generate a beam of optical radiation, a mass spectrometer and one or more optical components to receive the beam and to generate a concentrated region of optical radiation near an orifice of the mass spectrometer so that an analyte in the vapor phase of the eluent is ionized. Alternatively, the apparatus includes a laser driven light source, a mass spectrometer and an optical imaging system. The laser driven light source includes an optical enclosure having an ionizable medium, an ignition source and a laser for pumping optical radiation into the ionizable medium. The optical imaging system generates an image of the pumped region of the ionized medium proximate to the orifice of the mass spectrometer to thereby photoionize an analyte in the vapor phase of the eluent.
