摘要： Vapors of relatively heavy species having molecular weights in excess of 290 amu have not been previously detected in the gas phase at ambient temperature. A method to detect them is taught here based on the use of a mass spectrometer with an atmospheric pressure source. Ions produced in detectable quantities from such heavy vapors are claimed as a new state of matter.

摘要： The invention describes a system and method to separate ions (and charged particles) suspended in gas based on their ion electrical mobility. Most common ion mobility analyzers involve two parallel plate (or concentric cylinder) elements (electrodes) between which is imposed an electrical field perpendicular to a sheath gas flow field between the cylinders. Separation occurs because high mobility ions tend to follow the electrical field while low mobility ions tend to follow the flow field. This invention describes various configurations of electrical elements and sheath gas flow fields for ion mobility separation devices with unique performance characteristics. These characteristics include devices in which: the ion inlet and outlet are on the same element; the inlet and outlet are at the same voltage; the outlet is upstream from the inlet; the outlet is on the axis; the inlet is on the axis; and the ions are focused on the outlet.

摘要： Achieving high conversion of large multiply charged biological ions into low charge states involves requirements difficult to reconcile when high transmission and good spray quality (resulting in narrow mobility distributions) are sought. These multiple goals are achieved in this invention by partially isolating different regions from each other with electrostatic barriers relatively transparent to ions, such as metallic grids. One such region requires high electric fields for ion generation. The other region, used for ion recombination, is approximately field-free. In an alternative arrangement intended for charge reduction in sub-millisecond times, two sources of ions with opposite polarities are placed contiguously, with a grid in between. In all cases, ion crossing through grids into field free regions is effectively driven by space charge.

摘要： Improvements are provided in the detection of atmospheric vapors by ionizing them near ambient pressure, and analyzing them as ions. Lowest detection limits of parts per quadrillion (ppq) concentrations are enabled by a combination of improvements, including the use of a filter to remove occasional intense signal from explosive particles. Several sources of chemical background are identified and solutions for their reduction or elimination are presented. Gains in response time may be achieved by operating at elevated temperature. When the ionizer is an electrospray source, the use of high boiling point solvents is indicated. An increased selectivity is achieved by operating a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) in series with a mass spectrometer. However, ppq sensitivities require various improvements in the DMA system including a special coupling to the ionizer, controlling the temperature in the DMA pump circuit, avoidance of induction on the DMA electrodes from heating devices, etc.

摘要： A method for fast and accurate recognition of species contained in trace amounts in complex mixtures such as ambient air or biological fluids is taught based on the use in tandem of one or several differential mobility analyzers (DMAs) and possibly also a mass spectrometer (MS), all arranged in series. The two DMAs operate in different regions of the ion drag versus drift velocity curve (for instance, linear versus nonlinear regions), hence separating according to more than one independently discriminating parameters of the ion. Very high discrimination can be achieved even with a single stage of mass spectrometric separation by selecting a narrow range of ions with the DMA, and analyzing them in the MS, first without fragmentation, and then with fragmentation. This process does not require necessarily a tandem MS when fragmentation takes place in the inlet region of the MS. Fast and accurate discrimination is possible in single ion monitoring mode (SIM) for a large number of targeted species, even with relatively inexpensive and light single quadrupole MS systems, where the various filters placed in series would open pre-configured narrow windows suitable for passage of each ion in a list.

摘要： Prior work on differential mobility analysis (DMA) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) has shown how to couple the output of the DMA with the inlet of an atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometer (APCI-MS). However, the conventional ion inlet to an APCI-MS is a round orifice, while conventional DMA geometries make use of elongated slits. The coupling of two systems with such different symmetries limits considerably the resolutions attainable by the DMA in a DMA-MS combination below the value of the DMA alone. The purpose of this invention is to overcome this limitation in the case of a parallel plate DMA. One solution involves use of an elongated rather than a circular MS sampling hole, with the long dimension of the MS inlet hole aligned with that of the DMA slit. Another involves use of a more elongated orifice in the DMA exit and a more circular hole on the MS inlet, the two being connected either through a short transfer conduit or through an ion guide. The DMAs described can also be coupled profitably to detectors and analyzers other than mass spectrometers.
摘要翻译： 差示迁移率分析（DMA）与质谱联用（MS）的先前工作已经显示了如何将DMA的输出与大气压电离质谱仪（APCI-MS）的入口耦合。 然而，APCI-MS的常规离子入口是圆形孔，而常规的DMA几何形状使用细长的狭缝。 具有这种不同对称性的两个系统的耦合大大限制了DMA-MS组合中DMA的可达到的分辨率低于单独的DMA值。 本发明的目的是在平行板DMA的情况下克服这个限制。 一个解决方案涉及使用细长而不是圆形的MS采样孔，其中MS入口孔的长尺寸与DMA狭缝的尺寸对齐。 另一个涉及在DMA出口中使用更细长的孔口，在MS入口上使用更多的圆形孔，两者通过短的传输管道或通过离子导向器连接。 所描述的DMA还可以有效地耦合到除质谱仪之外的检测器和分析仪。
