    摘要: The current invention involves a method and a device for generating and analyzing ions in order to analyze samples directly without sample preparation. The gaseous neutral molecules are desorbed under atmospheric pressure by a desorption method. The desorbed neutral molecules are then transferred into a low pressure region where they are post-ionized by a mist from an electrospray probe tip or by photons from a vacuum UV source. The generated ions are then focused in a time varying electric field in the low pressure chamber before they are transferred into a mass spectrometer or ion mobility spectrometer for further analysis.

    摘要: An electrostatic ion trap for mass analysis includes a first array of electrodes and a second array of electrodes, spaced from the first array of electrode. The first and second arrays of electrodes may be planar arrays formed by parallel strip electrodes or by concentric, circular or part-circular electrically conductive rings. The electrodes of the arrays are supplied with substantially the same pattern of voltage whereby the distribution of electrical potential in the space between the arrays is such as to reflect ions isochronously in a flight direction causing them to undergo periodic, oscillatory motion in the space, focused substantially mid-way between the arrays. Amplifier circuitry is used to detect image current having frequency components related to the mass-to-charge ratio of ions undergoing the periodic, oscillatory motion.

    摘要: This invention presents a kind of ion guide device comprising multiple layers of stretched wire electrodes crossing in space. These wire electrodes are distributed along a defined ion guiding axis in the ion guide device. Each layer of wire electrodes contains at least two wire electrodes with some distance away from the guiding axis, and rotates with an angle relative to wire electrodes on neighboring layer. The ion guide contains multiple layers of wire electrodes to form a cage-like ion guide tunnel and keeps the mounting framework of those wire electrodes outside of the ion guide tunnel, thus reducing the interference of the gas flows from the ion guide device. A power supply provides voltage to each layer of wire electrodes, creates an electric field which focuses the ions towards the guiding axis.

    摘要: A device for separating, enriching and detecting ions comprises: a gas tube, in which a carrier gas flows at a uniform rate; an ion source; multiple electrodes provided in the gas tube and applied with electric voltages respectively, so that at least an electric field is produced along the axis of the gas tube; an ion detector; and an ion extraction channel, by which specific enriched ions will be guided across the side wall of the gas tube toward the ion detector and be analyzed. The device enriches ions utilizing the following characteristic: compound ions with specific ion mobility maintain a dynamic balance for a period of time in a flow field under the combination of a carrier gas and a suitable electrical field against the direction of the carrier gas. Simultaneously, multiple compound particles with different ion motilities can be separated and enriched at positions with different electrical field intensities in a flow field in the same manner. The device also comprises synchronously export latitudinally enriched ions at different positions in a flow field, and performs later mass analysis using a mass spectrometer.

    摘要: The current invention involves a desorption corona beam ionization source/device for analyzing samples under atmospheric pressure without sample pretreatment. It includes a gas source, a gas flow tube, a gas flow heater, a metal tube, a DC power supply and a sample support/holder for placing the samples. A visible corona beam is formed at a sharply pointed tip at the exit of the metal tube when a stream of inert gas flows through the metal tube that is applied with a high DC voltage. The gas is heated for desorbing the analyte from solid samples and the desorbed species are ionized by the energized particles embedded in the corona beam. The ions formed are then transferred through an adjacent inlet into a mass spectrometer or other devices capable of analyzing ions. Visibility of the corona beam in the current invention greatly facilitates pinpointing a sampling area on the analyte and also makes profiling of sample surfaces possible.
