Description

Positive and negative ion simultaneous measurement two-dimensional separation ion migration tube
Technical Field
The invention discloses a two-dimensional separation ion migration tube for simultaneous measurement of positive ions and negative ions. In particular to an ion migration tube which realizes the simultaneous detection of positive ions and negative ions and the two-dimensional orthogonal separation by utilizing the orthogonal combination of an asymmetric field ion mobility spectrometry and a migration time ion mobility spectrometry and the rapid switching of the polarity of a separation electric field in the migration time ion mobility spectrometry.
Background
Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) is a gas-phase ion separation detection technology that emerged in the early 70 s of the 20 th century. Compared with mass spectrometry, the ion resolution of the IMS is weak. However, IMS has the advantages of high sensitivity, operation at atmospheric pressure, portability of instruments, and the like. At present, the IMS plays a role of a mainstream technology in the national and public safety fields such as explosive and drug field screening, and the like, and also plays an increasingly important role in field rapid detection in the fields of environmental pollution, food safety and biomedical research by combining the IMS with gas chromatography and liquid chromatography.
The IMS can be classified into a migration time ion mobility spectrum (DTIMS), an asymmetric field ion mobility spectrum (FAIMS/DMS), a differential mobility ion mobility spectrum (DMA), an inhalational ion mobility spectrum (AIMS), and the like according to an ion mobility separation method. Among them, the DTIMS performs ion separation analysis by using a difference in time required for different ions to pass through the same distance in a uniform direct current weak electric field (E/N <4Td, E represents an electric field strength, and N represents a molecular number density of a gas), and is the most widely used IMS technique. Compared with mass spectra, chromatograms and the like, the resolution capability of IMS technology is generally low, for example, DTIMS is generally between 40 and 50, FAIMS is between 10 and 20, and DMA is between 10 and 20. The single IMS technology is often difficult to meet the resolution requirements for rapid in-situ detection of complex samples. Therefore, a two-dimensional or even three-dimensional coupling system based on the IMS technology is constructed, the adaptability of the instrument to field detection is kept, and meanwhile, high resolution capability and peak capacity are obtained, and the method is an important direction for the research of the IMS technology.
FAIMS is a technology for realizing the simultaneous separation and detection of positive and negative ions by applying a high-frequency asymmetric electric field between parallel sheet-shaped separation polar plates or between coaxial cylindrical separation polar plates, and the FAIMS adopting the coaxial separation polar plates also has the functions of ion space focusing and high-efficiency transmission. Shvartsburg et al (US7170053) and Guevremont et al (US7368709) divide an ion separation polar plate of FAIMS into a plurality of sections of electrodes, apply a high-frequency asymmetric electric field between the separation polar plates, and simultaneously introduce a direct-current weak electric field along the axial direction of a polar plate gap, so that the two-dimensional orthogonal combination of FAIMS and DTIMS is realized. However, the design can not meet the characteristic that the DTIMS has high requirement on the uniformity of the direct-current weak electric field, the resolution capability is improved to a limited extent, and only unipolar ions can be detected.
The dual-DTIMS separation channel is placed on two sides of the FAIMS ion detection polar plate by the company of Sinonex (Proc. of SPIE,2008,6954,69540H), so that the positive and negative ions under two-dimensional orthogonal separation are simultaneously detected. In the design, the extraction efficiency of ions between the FAIMS parallel separation polar plates into the DTIMS is low, so that the system sensitivity is poor; in addition, the voltage on the DTIMS needs to be applied reversely, the ion receiving electrode is at a high level, and the signal extraction is difficult.
Bohnhorst et al (anal. chem.2018,90,1114) also combine DMS with DTIMS and improve system resolution by embedding voltage-modulated three-parallel grid electrodes in the DTIMS's migration tube. However, this design does not have two-dimensional orthogonal separation characteristics and can only detect unipolar ions.
The invention discloses an ion migration tube design based on the combination of FAIMS and DTIMS. The ion migration tube has a simple structure, comprises a FAIMS separation channel and a DTIMS separation channel, and can realize simultaneous measurement of positive and negative ions under two-dimensional orthogonal separation; in addition, the FAIMS separation channel can synchronously carry out ion separation and ion focusing and efficiently transmit the ions to the DTIMS separation channel, and the system sensitivity is high.
