Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of using an ion trap in an MS/MS mode.
- Ion trap mass spectrometers or quadrupole ion stores
- quadrupole ion stores have been known for many years and described by a number of authors. They are devices in which ions are formed and contained within a physical structure by means of electrostatic fields such as RF, DC and a combination thereof.
- electrostatic fields such as RF, DC and a combination thereof.
- a quadrupole electric field provides an ion storage region by the use of a hyperbolic electrode structure or a spherical electrode structure which provides an equivalent quadrupole trapping field.
- Mass storage is generally achieved by operating trap electrodes with values of RF voltage V and its frequency f, DC voltage U and device size r 0 such that ions having their mass-to-charge ratios within a finite range are stably trapped inside the device.
- the aforementioned parameters are sometimes referred to as scanning parameters and have a fixed relationship to the mass-to-charge ratios of the trapped ions.
- scanning parameters there is a distinctive secular frequency for each value of mass-to-charge ratio.
- these secular frequencies can be determined by a frequency tuned circuit which coupled to the oscillating motion of the ions within the trap, and then the mass-to-charge ratio may be determined by use of an improved analyzing technique.
- a new method of using an ion trap in an MS/MS mode which comprises the steps of forming and storing ions in the ion trap, mass-selecting them by a mass analyzer, dissociating them by means of collisions with a gas or surfaces, and analyzing fragment ions by means of a mass or energy analyzer.
- a supplementary AC field may be applied additionally to provide various scan modes for mass detection as well as to dissociate the ions.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified schematic of a quadrupole ion trap along with a block diagram of associated electrical circuits adapted to be used according to the method embodying the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a stability envelope for an ion store device of the type shown in FIG. 1.
- FIGS 3(A) and 3(B) are spectrograms obtained by a series of experiments with a nitrobenzene sample by using the method of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 shows a program that may be used for a notchfilter scan mode with a supplementary voltage.
- FIGS. 5(A) and 5(B) are spectrograms obtained with a xenon sample by using the method of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6(A) through FIG. 6(D) are spectrograms obtained with a nitrobenzene sample by using the method of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 7 shows another program for an ion scan mode of the present invention.
- FIG. 8(A) through FIG. 8(D) are spectrograms obtained with an n-heptane sample by a series of experiments in which both the methods of FIGS. 4 and 7 are used.
- FIG. 1 There is shown in FIG. 1 at 10 a three-dimensional ion trap which includes a ring electrode 11 and two end caps 12 and 13 facing each other.
- the field required for trapping is formed by coupling the RF voltage between the ring electrode 11 and the two end cap electrodes 12 and 13 which are common mode grounded through coupling transformer 32 as shown.
- a supplementary RF generator 35 is coupled to the end caps 22, 23 to supply a radio frequency voltage V 2 sin ⁇ 2 t between the end caps to resonate trapped ions at their axial resonant frequencies.
- a filament 17 which is fed by a filament power supply 18 is disposed to provide an ionizing electron beam for ionizing the sample molecules introduced into the ion storage region 16.
- a cylindrical gate electrode and lens 19 is powered by a filament lens controller 21. The gate electrode provides control to gate the electron beam on and off as desired.
- End cap 12 includes an aperture through which the electron beam projects.
- the opposite end cap 13 is perforated 23 to allow unstable ions in the fields of the ion trap to exit and be detected by an electron multiplier 24 which generates an ion signal on line 26.
- An electrometer 27 converts the signal on line 26 from current to voltage.
- the signal is summed and stored by the unit 28 and processed in unit 29.
- Controller 31 is connected to the fundamental RF generator 14 to allow the magnitude and/or frequency of the fundamental RF voltage to be varied for providing mass selection.
- the controller 31 is also connected to the supplementary RF generator 35 to allow the magnitude and/or frequency of the supplementary RF voltage to be varied or gated.
- the controller on line 32 gates the filament lens controller 21 to provide an ionizing electron beam only at time periods other than the scanning interval. Mechanical details of ion traps have been shown, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,939,952 and more recently in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 454,351 12/29/82 assigned to the present assignee.
- the symmetric fields in the ion trap 10 lead to the well known stability diagram shown in FIG. 2.
- the parameters a and q in FIG. 2 are defined as
- e and m are respectively charge on and mass of charged particle.
- the values of a and q must be within the stability envelope if it is to be trapped within the quadrupole fields of the ion trap device.
- the type of trajectory a charged particle has in a described three-dimensional quadrupole field depends on how the specific mass of the particle, m/e, and the applied field parameters, U, V, r 0 and ⁇ combined to map onto the stability diagram. If the scanning parameters combine to map inside the stability envelope then the given particle has a stable trajectory in the defined field. A charged particle having a stable trajectory in a three-dimensional quadrupole field is constrained to a periodic orbit about the center of the field. Such particles can be thought of as trapped by the field. If for a particle m/e, U, V, r 0 and ⁇ combine to map outside the stability envelope on the stability diagram, then the given particle has an unstable trajectory in the defined field. Particles having unstable trajectories in a three-dimensional quadrupole field obtain displacements from the center of the field which approach infinity over time. Such particles can be thought of escaping the field and are consequently considered untrappable.
- the locus of all possible mass-to-charge ratios maps onto the stability diagram as a single straight line running through the origin with a slope equal to -2 U/V. (This locus is also referred to as the scan line.) That portion of the loci of all possible mass-to-charge ratios that maps within the stability region defines the region of mass-to-charge ratios particles may have if they are to be trapped in the applied field.
- the range of specific masses to trappable particles can be selected. If the ratio of U to V is chosen so that the locus of possible specific masses maps through an apex of the stability region (line A of FIG.
- the ion trap of the type described above is operated as follows: ions are formed within the trap volume 16 by gating a burst of electrons from the filament 17 into the trap.
- the DC and RF voltages are applied to the three-dimensional electrode structure such that ions of a desired mass or mass range will be stable while all others will be unstable and expelled from the trap structure.
- the electron beam is then shut off and the trapping voltages are reduced until U becomes 0 in such a way that the loci of all stably trapped ions will stay inside the stability region in the stability diagram throughout this process.
- the ions of interest are caused to collide with a gas so as to become dissociated into fragments which will remain within the trap, or within the stability region of FIG. 2. Since the ions to be fragmented may or may not have sufficient energy to undergo fragmentation by colliding with a gas, it may be necessary to pump energy into the ions of interest or to cause them to collide with energetic or excited neutral species so that the system will contain enough energy to cause fragmentation of the ions of interest.
- Excited neutrals of argon or xenon may be introduced from a gun, pulsed at a proper time.
- a discharge source may be used alternatively.
- a laser pulse may be used to pump energy into the system, either through the ions or through the neutral species.
- FIG. 3(A) is an electron ionization mass spectrogram of nitrobenzene.
- the RF voltage was adjusted first such that only ions with M/Z greater than 120 would be stored in the ion trap at the end of sample ionization.
- the displacement in any space coordinate must be a composite of periodic function of time. If a supplementary RF potential is applied that matches any of the component frequencies of the motion for a particular ion species, that ion will begin to oscillate along the coordinate with increased amplitude.
- the ion may be ejected from the trap, strike an electrode, or in the presence of significant pressure of sample or inert damping gas may assume a stable trajectory within the trap of mean displacement greater than before the application of the supplementary RF potential. If the supplementary RF potential is applied for a limited time, the ion may assume a stable orbit, even under conditions of low pressure.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a program that may be used for a notch-filter mode.
- ions of the mass range of interest are produced and stored in period A, and then the fundamental RF voltage applied to the ring electrode is increased to eject all ions of M/Z less than a given value.
- the fundamental RF voltage is then maintained at a fixed level which will trap all ions of M/Z greater than another given value (period D).
- a supplementary RF voltage of appropriate frequency and magnitude is then applied between the end caps and all ions of a particular M/Z value are ejected from the trap.
- the supplementary voltage is then turned off and the fundamental RF voltage is scanned to obtain a mass spectrum of the ions that are still in the trap (period E).
- FIG. 5(A) shows a spectrum of xenon in which the fundamental RF voltage is scanned as in FIG. 4 but in which a supplementary voltage is not used.
- FIG. 5(B) shows that these ions are largely removed from the trap.
- the supplementary RF voltage might be turned on during the ionization period and turned off at all other times. An ion which is present in a large amount would be ejected to facilitate the study of ions which are present in lesser amounts.
- Useful scan modes are also possible in which the frequency of the supplementary voltage is scanned.
- the frequency of the supplementary voltage may be scanned while the fundamental RF voltage is fixed. This would correspond to FIG. 4 with period E absent and the frequency of the supplementary RF voltage being scanned during period D.
- a mass spectrum is obtained as ions are successively brought into resonance. Increased mass resolution is possible in this mode of operation. Also, an extended mass range is attainable because the fundamental RF voltage is fixed.
- FIG. 6(C) was acquired as was FIG. 6(A), except that all ions of M/Z less than 88 are ejected before and during period B.
- FIG. 7 shows a particular way in which daughter ions may be produced.
- the frequency of the supplementary RF voltage remains constant but the fundamental RF voltage is adjusted during period DA to bring a particular parent ion into resonance so that granddaughter ions are produced.
- the fundamental RF voltage is adjusted to bring a particular daughter ion into resonance so that granddaughter ions will be produced.
- FIG. 8(A) shows a spectrum of n-heptane during the acquisition of which the scan program of FIG.
- FIG. 8(C) was acquired with the scan program used for FIG. 8(A), except that a supplementary RF voltage was used.
- the frequency of the supplemental RF field may be changed instead of changing the fundamental RF voltage.
- the trap may be cleared of undesired ions after daughter ions have been produced but before granddaughter ions are produced.
- further fragmentation may be induced by sequentially changing the fundamental RF voltage or the frequency of the supplementary RF voltage to bring the products of successive fragmentations into resonance.
- the applied RF voltage need not be sinusoidal but is required only to be periodic.
- a different stability diagram will result but its general characteristics are similar, including a scan line.
- the RF voltage could comprise square waves, triangular waves, etc.
- the quadrupole ion trap would nevertheless operate in substantially the same manner.
- the ion trap sides were described above as hyperbolic but the ion traps can be formed with cylindrical or circular trap sides. Any electrode structure that produces an approximate three-dimensional quadrupole field could be used.
- the scope of the invention is limited only by the following claims.
