    摘要: A simple and economical method of mass analyzing a sample by means of a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer in an MS/MS mode comprises the steps of forming ions within a trap structure, changing the RF and DC voltages in such a way that the ions with mass-to-charge ratios within a desired range will be and remain trapped within the trap structure, dissociating such ions into fragments by collisions and increasing the field intensity again so that the generated fragments will become unstable and exit the trap volume sequentially to be detected. A supplementary AC field may be applied additionally to provide various scan modes as well as dissociate the ions.

    摘要: A front-end ion source for a mass spectrometer generates both analyte and reagent ions. The reagent source may include a heater for vaporizing a condensed-phase reagent substance and an electron source for ionizing reagent molecules. The interior of the reagent ionization chamber is purged with a purge gas to avoid or minimize reaction of the reagent ions with oxygen or other reactive species, thereby enabling operation of the reagent ionization chamber at or near atmospheric pressure. The reagent and analyte ions are directed into a reduced-pressure chamber through separate passageways. An ion transport optic selectively transmits one of the analyte ions or the reagent ions from the reduced-pressure chamber to downstream regions of the mass spectrometer.

    摘要: In a quadrupole ion store or ion trap type mass spectometer, significantly improved mass selection is achieved by simultaneously trapping ions within the mass range of interest and then scanning the applied RF and DC voltages or the frequency .omega. to sequentially render unstable trapped ions of consecutive specific masses. These are passed out through apertures in an end cap to a high gain electron multiplier to provide a signal indicative of the ion mass. Sensitivity and mass resolution is also enhanced by operating the ion trap at a relatively high pressure in the range 1.times.10.sup.-1 to 1.times.10.sup.-5 torr. The presence of collision gas molecules, such as helium, improves sensitivity and mass resolution. In addition, the structure itself is built of stacked units, sealed by O-rings, which are easily disassembled for cleaning.

    摘要: An ionizer for ionizing a sample by bombardment with energetic particles. The ionizer incudes an ion chamber and an adjacent gas discharge region formed with an electrode cooperating wih the ion chamber. Said region serving to discharge a gas to form neutral and charged gas particles. The cooperation of the electrode and chamber accelerates the charged particles and causes charged and uncharged particles to flow into the ion chamber to strike and ionize a sample in the ion chamber.

The first conversion dynode is operated at a high positive potential to attract the negative ions whereby the negative ions impact the first conversion dynode with a substantial portion of the negative ions being converted to secondary positive ions. The second conversion dynode is operated at a potential which is less positive than the positive potential on the first conversion dynode to attract the secondary positive ions and to cause the secondary positive ions to be converted to electrons which are multiplied in the electron multiplier to provide an output signal indicative of the abundance of negative ions emanating from the source. .Iaddend.
