    • An adjustable, low mass-to-charge (m/z) filter is disclosed employing electrospray ionization to block ions associated with unwanted low m/z species from entering the mass spectrometer and contributing their space charge to down-stream ion accumulation steps. The low-mass filter is made by using an adjustable potential energy barrier from the conductance limiting terminal electrode of an electrodynamic ion funnel, which prohibits species with higher ion mobilities from being transmitted. The filter provides a linear voltage adjustment of low-mass filtering from m/z values from about 50 to about 500. Mass filtering above m/z 500 can also be performed; however, higher m/z species are attenuated. The mass filter was evaluated with a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of an albumin tryptic digest and resulted in the ability to block low-mass, “background” ions which account for 40-70% of the total ion current from the ESI source during peak elution.
    • 公开了一种可调节的低质量 - 电荷(m / z)滤波器,其使用电喷雾电离来阻挡与不想要的低m / z物质相关的离子进入质谱仪并且为下游离子累积步骤贡献其空间电荷。 低质量过滤器通过使用来自电动离子漏斗的电导限制端子电极的可调势势垒来制造,其阻止具有较高离子迁移率的物质被传输。 滤波器提供从大约50到大约500的m / z值的低质量滤波的线性电压调节。也可以执行m / z 500以上的质量过滤; 然而,更高的m / z物种减弱。 通过对白蛋白胰蛋白酶消化物的液相色谱 - 质谱分析来评估质量过滤器,并且导致阻断低质量“背景”离子的能力,其占离子源的总离子电流的40-70% 峰洗脱。

    • Techniques and instrumentation are described for analyses of substances, including complex samples/mixtures that require separation prior to characterization of individual components. A method is disclosed for separation of ion mixtures and identification of ions, including protein and other macromolecular ions and their different structural isomers. Analyte ions are not free to rotate during the separation, but are substantially oriented with respect to the drift direction. Alignment is achieved by applying, at a particular angle to the drift field, a much stronger alternating electric field that “locks” the ion dipoles with moments exceeding a certain value. That value depends on the buffer gas composition, pressure, and temperature, but may be as low as ˜3 Debye under certain conditions. The presently disclosed method measures the direction-specific cross-sections that provide the structural information complementing that obtained from known methods, and, when coupled to those methods, increases the total peak capacity and specificity of gas-phase separations. Simultaneous 2-D separations by direction-specific cross sections along and orthogonally to the ion dipole direction are also possible.
    • 描述了用于分析物质的技术和仪器,包括在表征单个组分之前需要分离的复杂样品/混合物。 公开了用于分离离子混合物和鉴定离子的方法,包括蛋白质和其它大分子离子及其不同的结构异构体。 分离离子在分离期间不能自由旋转,而是基本上相对于漂移方向取向。 通过以特定的角度对漂移场施加更强的交变电场来实现对准,所述交变电场通过超过一定值的力矩“锁定”离子偶极子。 该值取决于缓冲气体组成,压力和温度,但在某些条件下可能低至〜3德拜。 目前公开的方法测量提供与已知方法获得的结构信息互补的方向特异性横截面,并且当与这些方法耦合时,增加气相分离的总峰容量和特异性。 沿垂直于离子偶极方向的方向特定横截面同时进行2-D分离也是可能的。

    • There is described an interface for delivering ions generated in an ion source into a mass analyzer in a chamber under vacuum pressure. In particular, the interface employs two consecutive ion guides operated to dissociate adduct ions formed in the ion source or high pressure regions of the interface between the ion source and the mass analyzer, thus improving the limit of detection or limit of quantitation of the mass analyzer by increasing the analyte ion current.The questions raised in reexamination request no. 90/007,724, filed Sep. 16, 2005 have been considered and the results thereof are reflected in this reissue patent which constitutes the reexamination certificate required by 35 U.S.C. 307 as provided in 37 CFR 1.570(e), for ex parte reexaminations, or the reexamination certificate required by 35 U.S.C. 316 as provided in 37 CFR 1.997(e) for inter partes reexaminations.

    • The invention discloses a new interface with non-circular conductance limit aperture(s) useful for effective transmission of non-circular ion beams between stages with different gas pressure. In particular, the invention provides an improved coupling of field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) analyzers of planar or side-to-side geometry to downstream stages such as mass spectrometry or ion mobility spectrometry. In this case, the non-circular aperture is rectangular; other geometries may be optimum in other applications. In the preferred embodiment, the non-circular aperture interface is followed by an electrodynamic ion funnel that may focus wide ion beams of any shape into tight circular beams with virtually no losses. The jet disrupter element of the funnel may also have a non-circular geometry, matching the shape of arriving ion beam. The improved sensitivity of planar FAIMS/MS has been demonstrated in experiments using a non-contiguous elongated aperture but other embodiments (e.g., with a contiguous slit aperture) may be preferable, especially in conjunction with an ion funnel operated at high pressures.

    • The present invention relates to a device for separation and characterization of gas-phase ions. The device incorporates an ion source, a field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) analyzer, an ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) drift tube, and an ion detector. In one aspect of the invention, FAIMS operating voltages are electrically floated on top of the IMS drift voltage. In the other aspect, the FAIMS/IMS interface is implemented employing an electrodynamic ion funnel, including in particular an hourglass ion funnel. The present invention improves the efficiency (peak capacity) and sensitivity of gas-phase separations; the online FAIMS/IMS coupling creates a fundamentally novel two-dimensional gas-phase separation technology with high peak capacity, specificity, and exceptional throughput.
