    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for processing in real-time and using Gaussian fitting digitized signals from ions detection in time-of-flight (TOP) mass spectrometry. Acquisition/analog-to- digital conversion may be applied in the course of Ion detection during time-of-flight (TOP) mass spectrometry, with the acquisition/analog-to-digital conversion including generating, in response to detection of ions, one or more time-of-flight (TOP) based signals, and digitizing, using analog- to-digital conversion, the one or more TOP based signals, to generate corresponding digitized data. The digitized data may then be processed, in real-time and based on use of Gaussian fitting, to generate result data corresponding to the time-of-flight (TOP) mass spectrometry. The Gaussian fitting may comprise applying second (2nd) degree polynomial fit, such as by least squares via QR factorization.

    摘要: An analytical instrument produces intensity versus time measurements or intensity versus m/z measurements for each acquisition of n acquisitions using m instrument parameter values for each acquisition of n acquisitions, wherein n is a number greater than or equal to two and m is a number equal to or greater than one. For each acquisition of the n acquisitions, the instrument stores a data file that includes m one or more instrument parameter values applied to the instrument, producing n data files. A first data file of the n data files for a first acquisition is retrieved. A next data file of the n data files of a next acquisition is retrieved. The m corresponding parameter values of the first data file and the next data file are compared. If any corresponding parameter values differ between the first data file and the next data file, a notification of an instrument parameter difference corresponding to a name of the next data file is displayed.

    摘要: Methods and systems for delivering a liquid sample to an ion source for the generation of ions and subsequent analysis by mass spectrometry are provided herein. In accordance with various aspects of the present teachings, MS-based systems and methods are provided in which the flow of solvent into an open port sampling probe fluidly coupled to an ion source can be selectively stopped during the addition of one or more reagents into the drained open end of the sampling probe. Upon re-initiating the flow of solvent, the reagents and/or the reaction products can be delivered to the ion source. In one aspect, a method for chemical analysis is provided, the method comprising directing a flow of a first solvent from a solvent conduit to an ion source via a sampling space of a sampling probe, wherein the sampling space is at least partially defined by an open end of the sampling probe. The flow of the first solvent into the sampling space from the solvent conduit may be terminated for a first duration, and the sampling space drained. A second solvent and one or more reactants may then be added to the drained sampling space through the open end during the first duration. Thereafter, the flow of the first solvent may again be directed from the solvent conduit to the ion source via the sampling space such that the second solvent is delivered to the ion source, and such that one or more reaction products contained within the second solvent and generated by said one or more reactants may be ionized for mass spectrometric analysis.

    摘要: Systems and methods described herein provide for the injection of ions into an ELIT at a variety of kinetic energies such that the ions turn around at various locations. In certain aspects, such systems and methods for operating an ELIT may reduce ion density at the turning points to reduce the impact of the space charge effect. Various aspects of the present teachings also provide for the design or optimization of the ELIT electrode spacing and/or injection potentials to reduce the impact of the space charge effect. In some related aspects, the ELIT may additionally provide time-focusing of the various ion groups at the detector as they oscillate along their respective path lengths.
