Definitions

  • the mass analyzer 106 can also be configured to fragment the ions using collision induced dissociation (CID) electron transfer dissociation (ETD), electron capture dissociation (ECD), photo induced dissociation (PID), surface induced dissociation (SID), and the like, and further separate the fragmented ions based on the mass-to-charge ratio.
  • the mass analyzer 106 can be a hybrid system incorporating one or more mass analyzers and mass separators coupled by various combinations of ion optics and storage devices.
  • a hybrid system can a linear ion trap (LIT), a high energy collision dissociation device (HCD), an ion transport system, and a TOF.
  • Ionization chamber 206 can include gas inlet 222 for directing a gas sample into an ionization volume 224 defined by the ionization chamber 208.
  • gas molecules within the ionization volume 224 can be ionized by the electrons from the thermionic filament 218.
  • Lenses 208 and 210 can define a post ionization volume 226.
  • Post ionization volume 226 can be a region where ions can be formed which has a lower pressure for the sample.
  • Post ionization volume 226 can include regions of the lenses where electrons are present. In various embodiments, it may also include areas outside of the ionization volume and the lenses.
  • a single rotatable magnet assembly can house differing magnets optimized for El or CI operation.
  • the position of the magnet can be altered mechanically or a magnet external to the vacuum chamber can cause the magnet to rotate in the opposite position if the assembly is well balanced. This allows crossbeam ionization for PCI and NCI, while also allowing axial mode operation for high sensitivity El.
  • the ability to change the electron beam orientation without the need to vent can significantly reduce down time.
  • the first magnet 304 is adjacent to electron source 202 and the ion source can be operated in axial mode, such as for El.
  • the electrons travel from thermionic filament 218 of source 202 along the axis 230 into ionization volume 224 of ion source 200.
  • Magnetic fields from magnet 304 can provide magnetic containment reducing the spread of the electrons as they travel along the axis 230 into ionization volume 224.
  • Figure 6 illustrates a method of removing of an ion source.
  • the first electron source can be energized with a magnet assembly in a first position.
  • the first position of the magnet assembly can align a magnet with the first electron source.
  • the first electron source can produce electrons that cause the ionization a sample, as indicated at 604.
  • Ionizing the sample can include direct ionization by the electrons, such as El, or indirect ionization where a reagent is ionized and reacts with the sample, such as CI.
  • the ionized sample can be analyzed by mass spectrometry to identify and quantify compounds in the sample.
