摘要： A reflector is provided as well as a time-of-flight mass spectrometer with a reflector. The mass spectrometers is used for determining the chemical structure of molecules as well as for the quantitative analysis of unknown mixtures of substances. Design effort is minimized, especially for the reflector. The reflector is present in the time-of-flight mass spectrometer to generate an electrostatic field permitting the best possible focusing for the deflection of the ions. The reflector body is made in one piece as a radially symmetrical trough. The reflector is preferably made of a stainless steel or a carrier material with conductive coating and is polished on the inner side of the trough.

摘要： A hybrid mass spectrometer comprises an ion mobility (IMS) section and a mass analysis section that analyses ions based on mass-to-charge ratios. In the IMS section, a DC potential gradient is established and a drift gas provided, so as to separate ions based on varying ion mobilities. Additionally, at least a downstream portion of the IMS section includes a rod set focusing ions along the axis, this prevents loss of ions and gives good transfer of ions into-a-mass analysis section, which can be a time-of-flight mass analyzer or an analyzer including a quadrupole rod set. A collision cell and mass analyzer can be provided between the two sections for MS/MS analysis. The IMS section then provides better utilization of an available sample; as each group of ions is elected from the IMS section, one ion can be mass selected as a precursor, for subsequent fragmentation/reaction and subsequent mass analysis of the product ions. Another aspect of the invention provides the ability to form potential wells, utilizing a segmented rod set configuration, so as to trap and hold ions after separation based on mobility characteristics.

摘要： One illustrative embodiment of a voltage pulser circuit comprises a voltage source producing a first voltage, and a thyratron tube having an anode coupled to the output of the voltage source, a cathode connected to a reference potential and a grid responsive to a grid control voltage to electrically connect the anode to the cathode to thereby cause the first thyratron tube to switch the anode between the first voltage and the reference potential. A pulse-shaping circuit may be connected to the anode of the tube to effectuate desired rise and fall times of the voltage pulses produced by the voltage pulser circuit. Such a voltage pulser circuit is particularly suited for use in connection with the operation of pulsed spectrometer instruments, such as time-of-flight mass spectrometers and the like.

摘要： A Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (TOF-MS) is configured to improve resolution and sensitivity performance. The TOF-MS includes an arrangement of electrodes comprising an ion accelerator with two stages of homogeneous electric fields, an ion reflector with a single stage of a homogeneous electric field, accelerator and reflector being separated by a first drift space, and an ion detector which is separated from the reflector by a second drift space. Contrary to known TOF-MS of similar configuration, the set of electric potentials which must be applied to said electrodes is predetermined for a given geometry in such a way that a spatial distribution of ions initially at rest in the first gap of the said accelerator is compressed at the location of the detector in the longitudinal direction to a focus of first and second order in the initial axial coordinate. Therefore, mass resolution is enhanced over a TOF-MS that provides only for longitudinal focusing of first order, while the number of passages through grid electrodes along the flight path is reduced, and hence ion transmission and instrument sensitivity are improved.

摘要： A time-of-flight mass spectra calibration technique uses time-of-flight mass spectrometer instrument operational parameters and known mass and measured time-of-flight data pairs to optimize values of chosen ones of the instrument operational parameters. Electrostatic time-of-flight calculations are conducted in conjunction with an iterative procedure, preferably a simplex optimization procedure, to thereby minimize a residual error between the electrostatic time-of-flight calculations and the measured time-of-flight data values for each of the known mass values. While conventional curve fitting mass calibration techniques are devoid of information that describe ion behavior, the mass calibration technique of the present invention, by contrast, takes into account all of the instrument operational parameters in arriving at a final calibration. Because the electrostatic TOF calculation is a description of ion behavior in an actual TOF mass spectrometer instrument rather than a polynomial representation of a curve, it is well behaved and does not contain any instabilities where unpredictable calibration errors might occur. Moreover, unlike conventional curve fitting mass calibration techniques, the mass calibration technique of the present invention maintains mass accuracy in extrapolated mass ranges.
摘要翻译：飞行时间质谱校准技术使用飞行时间质谱仪仪器操作参数和已知质量和测量的飞行时间数据对来优化所选仪器操作参数的值。静电飞行时间计算结合迭代程序，优选单纯形优化程序进行，从而最小化静电飞行时间计算之间的残余误差和测量的飞行时间数据值已知的质量值。虽然传统的曲线拟合质量校准技术没有描述离子行为的信息，但是相比之下，本发明的质量校准技术考虑到达到最终校准的所有仪器操作参数。因为静电TOF计算是对实际TOF质谱仪器中的离子行为的描述，而不是曲线的多项式表示，因此它的行为良好，并且不包含可能发生不可预测的校准误差的任何不稳定性。此外，与传统的曲线拟合质量校准技术不同，本发明的质量校准技术保持外推质量范围的质量精度。

摘要： Various configurations of characterization systems such as ion mobility spectrometers and mass spectrometers are disclosed that are coupled to an ionization device. The ionization device is formed of a membrane that houses electrodes therein that are located closer to one another than the mean free path of the gas being ionized. Small voltages across the electrodes generate large electric fields which act to ionize substantially all molecules passing therethrough without fracture. Methods to manufacture the mass spectrometer and ion mobility spectrometer systems are also described.

摘要： A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein ions from a pulsed ion source are dispersed in a drift region so that the ions become separated according to their mass to charge ratios. The ions are then received by an ion guide in which multiple trapping regions are created and wherein the multiple trapping regions are translated along the length of the ion guide. The ion guide receives the ions so that all the ions trapped in a particular trapping region have substantially the same or similar mass to charge ratios. The ions are released from the exit of the ion guide and the pusher/puller electrode of an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyzer is arranged to be energised in synchronization with the ions emerging from the ion guide. The trapping regions may be translated along the ion guide with a velocity which becomes progressively slower and the delay time of the pusher/puller electrode may be progressively increased.
