Description

The mass spectrometric apparatus of automatic adjustment ion trap internal gas pressure and method of operation
Technical field
The present invention relates to ion trap mass spectrometry apparatus system, relate to the mass spectrometric apparatus system automatically regulating ion trap internal gas pressure especially.
Background technology
In the prior art, mass spectrometric analysis method is that material particle (atom, molecule) is ionized into ion, and by the electric field of suitable stable or change or magnetic field by they spatially position, time sequencing etc. realize karyoplasmic ratio and be separated, and detect its intensity to make the analytical method of qualitative and quantitative analysis.Due to the direct measurement of species particle of mass spectrometric analysis method, and mass spectrometric analysis method has the characteristic of highly sensitive, high-resolution, high flux and high applicability, makes mass spectrometer and analytical technique of mass spectrum very important in modern science and technology.Along with the development of the subjects such as life science, environmental science, medical science, and food security, national security, International Terrorism needs, mass spectrometricly become one of the fastest analytical instrument of demand growth rate, especially the appearance of Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry multiple techniques and pertinent instruments, because of its high separation function to complicated substrate and the high sensitivity of detection, gain great popularity in above-mentioned each field especially, even indispensable.
Mass analyzer is, in mass spectrometer, ion is isolated the parts that can detect according to karyoplasmic ratio, ion trap is important a kind of mass analyzer, its principle is by after many ion storage are in trap, be separated detection again, the mass analyzer of ion trap is not comprised relative to other, the mass analyzer comprising ion trap can ion storage, therefore can be MSn operation (mass spectrum operation) in the mass analyzer comprising ion trap.
The structure of ion trap has multiple, traditional 3D ion trap, the linear ion trap of company of the U.S., and the rectilinear ion trap of U.S. doctor invention, wherein can to overcome traditional 3D ion trap storage of ions few for rectilinear ion trap, and linear ion trap is difficult to the problems such as processing.
The operating mode of ion trap divides two stages: ion implantation memory phase, ion isolation detection-phase.
At ion implantation memory phase, in ion trap, be usually filled with cushion gas (often high-purity He gas), allow cushion gas and the ion entered in trap carry out colliding thus to reduce the initial kinetic energy of ion, reduce the probability escaped from after ion enters ion trap.When cushion gas is few, the probability that ion and cushion gas collide is just few, is not enough to the kinetic energy reducing ion, therefore needs relatively many cushion gases.
At ion isolation detection-phase, require that buffering tolerance is few, avoid too much cushion gas impact force to affect the control of radio frequency electrical field force to ion and mass resolution is deteriorated, the signal to noise ratio that detector works at low pressure simultaneously can be better.
These two different stages, cushion gas is had to the requirement of complete contradiction.Therefore, often adopt the strategy of compromise, be namely filled with the cushion gas of compromise flow, take into account ion implantation and ion detection, but, no matter ion implantation or the equal difficulty of ion detection reach best performance.
Patent No. US8198580B2, devise the ion trap of two series connection, realize high-low pressure, (cushion large-minded at hyperbar, air pressure is high) realize ion implantation in ion trap and store, in low pressure (buffering tolerance is few, and air pressure is low) ion trap, realize ion isolation detect, obtain higher detection perform (high sensitivity and high-resolution).
But, this pair of pressure dual ion trap mass spectrometer system, need 2 cover ion traps and 2 cover rf power system, ion enters low-voltage ion trap from hyperbar ion trap after " cooling " (kinetic energy minimizing), have certain loss, and Control timing sequence is responsible for, the overall difficulty realized is excessive, high cost.And once high-low pressure ion trap interface is fixed, in two pressure trap, vacuum gradient relation is fixed, be difficult to adjust flexibly according to being made by measured ion.These problems hinder ideal and the realization of the ion trap mass spectrometry device of low cost.
Therefore, the mass spectrometric apparatus of ion trap internal gas pressure can be so automatically regulated may to be a kind of comparatively ideal solution.But, realize automatically regulating the mass spectrometric apparatus of ion trap internal gas pressure to there is the technical barrier of three aspects:
One, in ion trap, vacuum degree is not easy direct measurement, indirectly estimates vacuum degree in ion trap (ion trap internal gas pressure than in cavity slightly high) often by the vacuum degree measured in vacuum cavity.
Two, in ion trap, input buffer gas, form vacuum gradient religion easily, but the vacuum gradient that formation is specified then not easily.Ion trap has 1 air inlet, 4 gas delivery outlets, and the geometric parameter in hole and locus can have a strong impact on the formation of vacuum degree in ion trap.
Three, in the short period of time (in the scan period), at ion implantation demands hyperbar, require low gas at ion isolation detection-phase, and require that stable gas pressure is very difficult, otherwise the reappearance of impact analysis.

S7, automatically regulates the calculation function module controls detector of vacuum degree in trap to carry out separation to the ion in trap and detects operation, obtain the signal strength signal intensity of different mass-to-charge ratio ion.
8. the multi-stage ms analysis operation method of the mass spectrometric apparatus of automatic adjustment ion trap internal gas pressure according to claim 7, it is characterized in that, also comprise and collide the cracked further of the cracked arbitrary daughter ion obtained to target parent ion in step S5 and cushion gas, described fragmentation is for repeating step S4 and S5.
9. the multi-stage ms analysis operation method of the mass spectrometric apparatus of automatic adjustment ion trap internal gas pressure according to claim 7, it is characterized in that, twice air pressure adjustment required time of step S1 and step S6 is the shortest time when ensureing that target air pressure stability is less than 10%.
