    摘要: Analyte ions are analyzed first by field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) before being analyzed by a mass analyzer. Analyte ions are produced at near atmospheric pressure and transferred via a dielectric capillary into the vacuum system of the mass analyzer. While passing through the capillary, the ions are analyzed by FAIMS via electrodes on the interior wall of the capillary. Improved ion transmission is achieved by providing smooth geometric transitions between the channel in FAIMS analyzer and the channel in the remainder of the capillary.

    摘要: Ions with a predetermined range of ion mobilities are produced by filtering input ions with at least two consecutive ion mobility high pass and/or low pass filters. Each ion mobility filter is formed by entraining ions in a moving gas and applying a DC electric field to the ions which causes the ions to move in a direction opposite to the gas flow. An ion mobility high pass filter is formed when the DC electric field drives the ions against the flow of gas, whereas an ion mobility low pass filter is formed when a the gas flow drives entrained ions against an DC electric field barrier.

    摘要: In an ion mobility spectrometer in which a gas flows through a gas-tight tube with a radially quadrupolar RF field therein and blows ions against a DC electric field barrier, a mobility scan with a mobility scale that is linear in time is obtained by holding the height of the DC electric field barrier constant while changing the pressure and temperature conditions of the flowing gas. Alternatively, the mobility scan is performed by holding the pressure and temperature conditions of the flowing gas constant and reducing the height of the DC electric field barrier non-linearly with respect to time.

    摘要: Ions with a predetermined ion mobility range are produced by filtering ions entrained in a stream of moving gas with two ion mobility low pass filters located consecutively in the gas stream. Each filter is formed by applying a DC electric field to the gas stream which causes the ions to move in a direction opposite to the gas flow. Ions are collected between the two filters and transferred to a detector or analyzing device. In one embodiment, the maximum field strength of the electric field barrier in the first ion mobility low pass filter is continued as a plateau of essentially constant field strength up to the electric field barrier in the second ion mobility low pass filter, which has a maximum field strength higher that the maximum field strength of the electric field barrier in the first ion mobility low pass filter.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer 20 includes an electron multiplier 30 for producing an electron avalanche 58 directed toward an ionization region 38. A sample 40 enters the ionization region 38 through a sample inlet 68. In the ionization region 38 the electron avalanche 58 collides with the sample 40 and produces ions 60. A start detector 56 detects the electron avalanche 58 and provides a start signal. The ions 60 exit the ionization region 38 and enter a flight region 26. The ions 60 flow through the flight region 26 and interact with a stop detector 42. The stop detector 42 generates a stop signal in response to being activated. A low pressure enclosure 22 encloses at least the electron multiplier 30 and the ionization region 38. The start and stop signals are supplied to an analysis system for determining the mass of the sample using time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

    摘要: In an ion mobility spectrometer in which a gas pushes ions along a spectrometer axis against and over an electrical field barrier, the electric field barrier is generated with a plateau of slightly increasing height along the axis of the spectrometer. Alternately, the electric filed barrier may have a plateau with constant height, but the gas flow decreases in velocity along the axis of the spectrometer in the vicinity of the plateau.
