    Abstract: The technical solution of the present disclosure provides an ion source apparatus and a mass spectrometer. According to the ion source apparatus, the axial ion guide assembly includes the plurality of multipole segments extending axially, the transmission path of axial ions is straight, and the ion transmission efficiency is substantially unaffected when the axial ion source is used alone. Further, since the ion outlet of the lateral ion guide assembly faces a gap between two adjacent segmented multipoles, the lateral ion guide assembly does not affect axial field, thereby integrating the multiple ion sources while ensuring the ion transmission efficiency and ion constraining of the axial ion source.

    Abstract: A data acquisition method in a mass spectrometer includes a. providing an ion source to generate precursor ions; b. feeding the precursor ions into a first mass analyzer that selects one mass window such that the precursor ions located outside the mass window pass through the first mass analyzer and the precursor ions located within the mass window cannot pass through the first mass analyzer; c. feeding the precursor ions passing through the first mass analyzer into a collision cell for collisional dissociation, to generate product ions; d. feeding the product ions into a second mass analyzer for mass analysis and recording a spectrum; and e. repeating Steps b-d. Each time when Step b is repeatedly performed, the selected mass window does not overlap with all the mass windows previously selected. After all the mass windows in a mass range are selected, the repetition is stopped.

    Abstract: The invention provides a mass spectrometry analysis method and a mass spectrometry system. During implementation of the mass spectrometry analysis method, intensity data of the daughter ions, a first parameter of the daughter ions associated with the first physicochemical property, and a second parameter of the daughter ions associated with the second physicochemical property are all recorded to form a spectrogram data set. In a deconvolution step, the spectrogram data set is deconvoluted to categorize the daughter ions from the same parent ion according to two-dimensional features including the first parameter and the second parameter. In the above manner, the mass spectrometry analysis method and the mass spectrometry system provided by the invention can detect ions that partially overlap spectral peaks of other ions significantly, thereby improving the qualitative and quantitative ability of data analysis for data independent acquisition.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a mass spectrometer and a method applied thereby for reducing ion loss and succeeding stage vacuum load. The mass spectrometer includes an ion source connected via vacuum interfaces, a vacuum chamber and a succeeding stage device; wherein a tubular lens is arranged above a Mach disc formed by a gas flow carrying ions at the vacuum interfaces, so that an ion transfer path is restrained and the ions scattering with the gas flow is reduced. In comparison to a sole reliance on a radio-frequency voltage for focusing ions, the efficiency of ion capture in a jet region is improved by using an aerodynamic lens; and the desolvation efficiency of electrically charged droplets is also improved, thereby further improving the sensitivity of the mass spectrometer. Meanwhile the tubular aerodynamic lens is simple in structure and small in size.

    Abstract: An ion trap analyzer, an ion trap mass spectrometry analysis method, and an ion fragmentation method are provided. The ion trap analyzer includes an ion trapping space enclosed by multiple electrodes (101, 102, 103, 11, 12, 214), where a high-frequency voltage is applied on at least a part of the electrodes, so as to generate, within the trapping space, a trapping electric field dominated by a quadratic field. The apparatus is provided with an ion ejection outlet (200) in at least one direction away from the center of the trap; an alternating voltage signal used for resonant excitation of ion motions is overlaid on an electrode part that is on a side of the ion ejection outlet and closest to the ejection outlet, while no voltage signal that is identical in range and phase with the alternating voltage is applied on at least one remaining electrode part in said direction. With the method, or by further applying, to the remaining electrode part in said direction, a voltage signal that is inverted to the alternating voltage, the orientation of an alternating electric field induced by the excitation alternating voltage signal can be limited, thereby improving the resonance ejection efficiency of the ion trap, reducing, in ion motions, motion coupling between an ejection direction and a non-ejection direction, and improving the viability of selecting the ion trap as a mass analyzer.

    Abstract: An ion mobility analyzer, combination device thereof, and ion mobility analysis method. The ion mobility analyzer comprises an electrode system that surrounds the analytical space and a power device that attaches to the electrode system an ion mobility electric potential field that moves along one space axis. During the process of analyzing mobility of ions to be measured, by always placing the ions to be measured in the moving ion mobility electric potential field, and keeping the movement direction of the ion mobility electric potential field consistent with the direction of the electric field on the ions to be measured within the ion mobility electric potential field, theoretically a mobility path of an infinite length can be formed so as to distinguish ions having mobility or ion cross sections that have very small differences.
