    摘要: Multiply-charged ions are generated from singly-charged ions of analyte substances. The singly-charged ions, which are supplied by many types of ion sources, are accelerated, together with donor ions of substances which have only a very low proton affinity, into a reaction cell. In the reaction cell, protons are transferred from the donor ions to the analyte ions to protonate the analyte ions and increase the ion charge. The multiply-charged analyte ions are subsequently fragmented by a variety of techniques and mass analyzed.

    摘要: Methods are provided for acquiring sum spectra in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer with orthogonal pulsed acceleration, where each of the sum spectra is obtained from a plurality of summed individual spectra. The mass spectrometer has an ion storage device that collects the ions temporarily before they are transferred to an ion pulser, which pulses out the ions orthogonally. Acquisition conditions such as, for example, delay times between opening the ion storage device and the pulsed ejection in the ion pulser are varied for the individual spectra, which are added together to form the sum spectrum of ions with light masses and high masses.

    摘要: Ion mobilities are measured by entraining the ions in a gas and adiabatically expanding the ion-containing gas through a nozzle to form a gas jet. An electrical field barrier with variable height is located at the nozzle exit. The field barrier may be located adjacent to the nozzle exit or an ion guide may be located between the nozzle and the field barrier. If a continuous ion current is supplied, the height of the barrier is varied and the ion current of the ions passing over the barrier is measured, the ion current can be differentiated to generate a mobility spectrum. Alternatively, the ions can be temporarily stored in the ion guide so that measurement of the ion current of the ions passing over the barrier results in a direct measurement of the mobility spectrum.

    摘要: The invention relates to the construction and operation of a slit diaphragm pulser for a time-of-flight mass spectrometer with orthogonal injection of the ions to be examined. The invention includes switching three diaphragm potentials during a transition from a filling phase to an acceleration phase in order to maintain a potential along the axis of the injected ion beam at a constant level, to prevent any penetration by the accelerating fields during the filling phase and to obtain extremely high mass resolution in the acceleration phase through a lens effect.

    摘要: A calibration function for time-of-flight mass spectrometers that converts ion times of flight into mass to charge ratios, takes into account not only the time of flight of a specific ionic species, but also the ion signal intensity of that ionic species. Use of the conversion function reduces nonsystematic deviations of the calculated mass values from the true mass values previously experienced in time of flight mass spectrometers.

    摘要: The invention relates to time-of-flight mass spectrometers, equipped with ion reflector and ion detector, with orthogonal ion injection and outpulsing of a segment of the ion beam perpendicular to the direction of injection in a pulser. The invention is directed to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer in which a reflector and an ion detector each have an angular offset about an axis that is perpendicular to the respective directions of injection and deflection. This allows a large distance to be used between the pulser and detector with the highest possible utilization of ions.

    摘要: The invention covers a method for detecting ions in high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometers which operate with secondary electron multiplier multichannel plates and in which many single spectra are acquired and added to produce a sum spectrum. The invention involves (a) using an analog digital converter (ADC) for converting electron currents from secondary electron multipliers, instead of a time-to-digital converter (TDC) which was previously used for highest possible signal resolution, (b) performing a separate rapid peak recognition procedure for the ion signals of each spectrum by a fast calculation method, thereby collecting flight time and intensity value pairs for the ion peaks, and (c) constructing a time-of-flight/intensity histogram, which is further processed as a composite time-of-flight spectrum. The invention retains the significantly higher measurement dynamics of an ADC and achieves the improved resolution capability of a TDC, but without showing the latter's known signal distortion due to dead times.
