摘要:
A mass spectrometer comprising an ionization means for ionizing sample compounds to be analyzed mass spectro-scopically in an atmospheric pressure, a sample solution supply means for supplying a solution containing the sample compounds to the ionization means, means for feeding the ions formed by the ionization means through an aperture disposed in an electrode into a vacuum region, and an ion trap type mass spectroscopic means for mass spectroscopically analyzing ions entered through the aperture into the vacuum region, in which an ion decelerating electric field forming means is disposed between the electrode disposed with the aperture and an electrode disposed with an ion entrance opening for entering the ions into the ion trap type mass spectroscopic means for forming an electric field for decelerating the ions, and the ions injected to the ion trap mass spectroscopic means is lowered. This facilitates accumulation ions in the ion trap mass spectralyzing means even if a high drift voltage is used thereby enabling high sensitivity analysis for polar compounds such as peptides.
摘要:
A semi-micro liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer apparatus has an ion source. The space from the end portion of a flow passage of a liquid chromatograph shell to a vaporization portion is closed so as to prevent the inflow of a gas from outside the ion source into the space. Further, the nebulization and vaporization portions are joined together and heated by a common heater. Dilution of a sample to be analyzed is prevented, and high sensitivity detection becomes possible in a low velocity liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer.

A mass spectrometer employing an ion source includes a capillary for spraying therethrough liquid into the atmospheres and an orifice through which a portion in the vicinity of a tip of the capillary is inserted, the orifice being designed in such a way that gases are caused to flow up to the tip of the capillary along a peripheral wall face of the capillary. The flow rate of gas in the vicinity of the tip of the capillary is about the sonic velocity, and a voltage is applied across the liquid flowing through the capillary and the orifice or an electrode arranged in the vicinity of the tip of the capillary.
摘要:
A method in which cutting of small droplets, neutral particles or photons through to a slit provided between a differential pumping portion and a mass analysis portion is combined with slight deflection of ions just before introduction of the ions into the mass analysis portion so that noises are greatly reduced without reduction of signals to thereby improve the signal-to-noise ratio which is an index of detecting sensitivity or lower limit.

A compact, easy-to-use device is provided which takes in a sample over a shorter distance, the sample introducing time is shortened, and contamination is prevented when the sample is introduced. A burner for generating a plasma, a deflecting portion provided with parallel electrodes for deflecting ions, and an analyzer room for performing mass separation of the deflected ions, these being disposed in a plane in the horizontal direction, and a sample setting portion for setting a sample, a peristaltic pump for aspirating the sample and the burner for introducing and burning the aspirated sample are disposed in a plane in the vertical direction relative to the aforesaid plane. The sample is supplied to the burner from below, and the ions generated by the plasma are made to flow on a horizontal plane.
摘要:
An ion-deflecting device is located between a mass spectrometer and a detector, and undesired signal sources are prevented from reaching the detector during the ion-trapping period by switching the voltage applied to the detector between the ion-trapping period and the mass-analyzing period. A first voltage is applied to the detector during an ion-trapping period while a second voltage is applied to the detector during a mass-analyzing period. An ion-deflecting device deflects ions such that they do not reach the detector during an ion-trapping period while they do reach the detector during a mass-analyzing period. This way, the life of the detector is increased.

Plasma ion source mass spectrometers or liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometers are provided: wherein photon noises and matrix molecule ions produced by the ion source are decreased, the decrease of the quantity of signal is suppressed, and the apparatus maintenance is improved. The photon noises are decreased with a shielding plate and a 90 degrees deflector. The maintainability in cleaning is improved by a combination of a leading electrode, the shielding plate having a small hole, and a gate valve. The decrease in the quantity of signal is suppressed with the leading electrode, and a double cylindrical type static lens. Position adjustment of the leading electrode is performed with a flat plate having plural holes. Using an ion trap mass analyzer, matrix molecule ions are eliminated by applying a resonance voltage between its end cap electrodes. Decrease in the quantity of signals, which has been a problem, can be prevented, and a high transmission can be realized with a preferable reproducibility against disturbance of an electric field caused by ion lens and the like. A detectable limit of atomic ions of the sample can be improved by eliminating the matrix molecule ions.
