    Abstract: The disclosed method and apparatus couple a membrane interface directly to a mass spectrometer at atmospheric pressure. The membrane may be in capillary or sheet form and allows the introduction of a liquid or gaseous sample to one side of the membrane while the other side of the membrane is bathed with a solution that can easily be used in an atmospheric pressure ionization source. Volatile molecules permeate through a suitable membrane such as poly-dimethyl silicone (PDMS), mix into the appropriate solvent, and are ionized. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used in construing the claims.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for separation of rare stable or radioactive isotopes from their atomic or molecular isobars in mass spectrometry (MS). In the present invention, the approach taken to removing atomic isobars utilizes a high transmission device for decelerating ions in combination with low energy reactions, such as ion-molecule reactions or near resonant electron transfer, in RF ion guides. The isobar is selectively depleted by electron transfer or other reactions between negative ions and gaseous targets in pressurized RF ion guides at low energies. The energy is controlled in such a way as to prevent reaction of the ion of interest while inducing reactions with the undesired isobar interference. The technique is of particular relevance to accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) for which it allows substantial reductions in the necessary terminal voltage. The effect is to allow reductions in the size and cost of AMS installations.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method of analyzing hydrogen isotope, especially a method of confirming hydrogen/deuterium exchange in constructions of biological samples and determining the percentage of deuterium in biological samples. The method comprises the following steps: selecting a matrix, mixing uniformly the prepared biological sample with a suitable amount of the matrix, then lyophilizing; the lyophilized mixture burns completely with an oxidant, so hydrogen in the mixed sample is oxidized into water; after separating, the water obtained reacts with zinc to produce hydrogen gas; then measuring H/ H ratio in hydrogen gas by a gas isotope mass spectrograph; calculating the percentage of deuterium in biological samples increases, the biological properties, mainly thermostabilization, of samples will change obviously. By determining the percentage of deuterium for biological samples with the optimal thermostabilization and the optical deuterium treatment conditions for biological samples, the stability of biological samples such as polypeptide will improve. The method is simple and easy to operate, with good reproducibility and low costs.

    Abstract: A multipole ion guide (40) which begins in one pumping stage (53) and extends continuously into one or more subsequent pumping stages (41, 42) has been incorporated into an atmospheric pressure ion source mass spectrometer system. Ions delivered into vacuum from an electrospray, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization or inductively coupled plasma ion source are guided and focused into a mass analyzer (57) with high efficiency using the multipole ion guide. The background pressure over a portion of the multipole ion guide length is high enough to cause kinetic energy cooling of ions traversing the ion guide length due to ion collisions with neutral background gas molecules. This ion kinetic energy cooling lowers energy spread of ions traversing the multipole ion guide length. The multipole ion guide DC offset potential can be used to adjust the mean ion energy and the ion guide a and q values can be set to reduce or expand the range of ion mass to charge which will be transmitted through the ion guide. These features of multipole ion guides and multiple pumping stage multipole ion guides are used to improve performance and lower the cost of atmospheric pressure ion source mass spectrometer instruments.
