    摘要: An external ion source assembly in which ion are formed in an ion volume by the interaction of energetic electrons and gas molecules. The effective energy of the electrons entering the ion volume is controlled by changing the voltage between the electron source (filament) and the ionization volume whereby ions having sufficient energy for ionizing atoms and molecules leave the electron source and enter the ionization volume only during an ionization period. The ion source assembly can be used both for electron impact ionization (EI) and for chemical ionization (CI).

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to an ion trap mass spectrometer for analyzing ions and more particularly to a substantially quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer with an enlarged ion occupied volume. Described herein are electrode geometries that enlarge the ion occupied volume. Improved ion sensitivities, detection limits and dynamic range should be realized for the same charge density in these devices because the increased ion occupied volume allows for the storage of a greater number of ions. The essence of this invention is that these ion trap geometries may apply all modes of operation of substantially quadrupole ion traps such as the mass selective instability mode, resonance excitation/ejection, and MS.sup.n.

    摘要: The invention provides improvements in reagents for use in electron transfer dissociation ionization techniques for use in mass spectrometry, particularly for sequencing peptides and proteins using mass spectrometric techniques involving electrospray ionization and MS/MS characterization of fragment ions. The novel reagents used in the inventive methods allow for more effective determination of protein sequences, especially of long peptides or post-translationally modified protein fragments. Use of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons azulene, homoazulene, and acenaphthylene, and homodimers and heterodimers thereof, are described.

    摘要: A quadrupole mass spectrometer in which a sample to be analyzed is ionized in a two or three dimensional electrostatic trapping field, and the ions in the range of the mass-to-charge ratios to be analyzed are excited at their characteristic frequencies of motion. The excited ions generate image currents which are detected and processed to provide a mass spectrum.

    摘要: A dual ion trap mass analyzer includes adjacently positioned first and second two-dimensional ion traps respectively maintained at relatively high and low pressures. Functions favoring high pressure (cooling and fragmentation) may be performed in the first trap, and functions favoring low pressure (isolation and analytical scanning) may be performed in the second trap. Ions may be transferred between the first and second trap through a plate lens having a small aperture that presents a pumping restriction and allows different pressures to be maintained in the two traps. The differential-pressure environment of the dual ion trap mass analyzer facilitates the use of high-resolution analytical scan modes without sacrificing ion capture and fragmentation efficiencies.
