    摘要: A method for detecting and correcting inaccurate results in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). ICP-AES analysis is performed across a plurality of selected locations in the plasma on an unknown sample, collecting the light intensity at one or more selected wavelengths of one or more sought-for analytes, creating a first dataset. The first dataset is then calibrated with a calibration dataset creating a calibrated first dataset curve. If the calibrated first dataset curve has a variability along the location within the plasma for a selected wavelength, errors are present. Plasma-related errors are then corrected by diluting the unknown sample and performing the same ICP-AES analysis on the diluted unknown sample creating a calibrated second dataset curve (accounting for the dilution) for the one or more sought-for analytes. The cross-over point of the calibrated dataset curves yields the corrected value (free from plasma related errors) for each sought-for analyte.

    摘要: A device for accurately dispensing small volumes of liquids in the form of uniform droplets. The dispensing device communicates with a source of compressed air which, during start-up transience of the dispensing device, directs a jet of compressed air at the trajectory of dispensed droplets, thereby deflecting the droplets out of their normal trajectory and away from the collecting surface or container and allowing accurate dispensing.

    摘要: A distance-of-flight mass spectrometer (DOFMS) includes an ion source, a field-free region, an extraction region in which ions are accelerated, and a spatially-selective detector for spatially selectively detecting ions extracted by the extraction region. A method for operating a distance-of-flight mass spectrometer DOFMS comprises controlling a detection time in such a way as to permit ions with progressively greater mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios to enter the extraction region of the DOFMS at positions which will permit the ions with progressively greater m/z ratios to enter the detector of the DOFMS, generating a component mass spectrum at each selected value of detection time, and then assembling a composite mass spectrum by shifting the distance-of-flight axis of each component mass spectrum by a distance corresponding to the change in detection time.

    摘要: A novel, time-of-flight mass spectrometer for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of elemental, molecular, and isotopic chemical samples is provided which offers increased sensitivity, speed of analysis, resolving power, and signal-to-noise ratios than prior mass spectrometers by properly sampling and collimating an ion beam from a continuous ion source, decelerating said ion, forming ion packets from the continuous ion beam, storing said ion packets, extracting and accelerating the ion packets along a stable flight path, transversely compressing said packets, focusing ions of similar mass, and detecting the focused ion masses. The mass spectrometer includes an ion optics assembly and an analyzer disposed along a common axis coincident with a continuous beam of sampled ions. The relationship between the ion extractor and accelerator are such that ions of isomass are focused at at least one point in space in the analyzer along a narrow flight path so as to be either removed from the flight path or allowed to proceed and be detected at substantially the same time. The separate modulation and extraction steps, when coupled with the space-focusing and selected deflection of certain ionic species, results in higher sensitivity, greater analysis speed, higher resolving power, and improved signal-to-noise ratio than achieved in prior orthogonal or on-axis time-of-flight mass spectrometers. A novel method achieved by the apparatus is also disclosed.
