Definitions
- the present invention relates to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (hereinafter abbreviated as “TOFMS”), and more specifically, an ion is temporarily held in an orthogonal acceleration type TOFMS and an ion trap.
- TOFMS time-of-flight mass spectrometer
- the present invention relates to an ion trap TOFMS that ejects ions from a trap and introduces them into a flight space.
- TOFMS a constant kinetic energy is applied to ions derived from a sample component to fly in a space of a fixed distance, the time required for the flight is measured, and the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions is calculated from the flight time. For this reason, when ions are accelerated and flight is started, if there are variations in the position of ions or the initial energy of ions, variations in the flight time of ions with the same mass-to-charge ratio will result in a decrease in mass resolution and mass accuracy. It leads to.
- orthogonal acceleration also called “vertical acceleration” or “orthogonal extraction”
- vertical acceleration also called “vertical acceleration” or “orthogonal extraction”
- ions having a specific mass-to-charge ratio are dissociated in one or more steps by a technique such as collision-induced dissociation.
- MS n analysis also called tandem analysis or the like
- a mass spectrometer capable of MS n analysis a quadrupole mass filter is placed before and after a collision cell that dissociates ions with a quadrupole (or other multipole) ion guide.
- a quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (a quadrupole mass filter arranged in the front stage and the orthogonal acceleration TOFMS in the rear stage across the collision cell) (Hereinafter referred to as “Q-TOFMS”) is also known.
- FIG. 10A is a schematic configuration diagram of the collision cell and the orthogonal acceleration unit in the Q-TOFMS described in Patent Document 1
- FIG. 10B is an axis in FIG. 10A (in this case, an ion optical axis).
- FIG. 10C is a timing diagram of the voltage applied to the outlet side gate electrode and the orthogonal acceleration voltage in FIG. 10A.
- an ion guide 51 is provided inside a collision cell 50 for dissociating ions.
- the ion guide 51 and inlet-side gate electrodes arranged before and after the ion guide 51 are provided.
- the linear ion trap is constituted by 52 and the outlet side gate electrode 53.
- the inlet side gate electrode 52 and the outlet side gate electrode 53 also serve as the inlet side end face and the outlet side end face of the collision cell 50, respectively.
- Precursor ions having a specific mass-to-charge ratio selected in a quadrupole mass filter are dissociated in the collision cell 50, and the potentials at the positions of the entrance-side gate electrode 52 and the exit-side gate electrode 53 are changed to the potential in the ion guide 51.
- the generated product ions (and precursor ions that have not been dissociated) are temporarily held in the internal space of the ion guide 51. Thereafter, by temporarily lowering the voltage applied to the exit-side gate electrode 52, the ions held until just before that are released from the collision cell 50 at a predetermined timing.
- the emitted ions are introduced along the X-axis direction into the orthogonal acceleration unit 56 of the orthogonal acceleration type TOFMS through the grid electrode 54 and the skimmer 55, and when an acceleration voltage is applied to the orthogonal acceleration unit 56 at a predetermined timing, The ions are accelerated in the Z-axis direction and introduced into a flight space (not shown).
- the solid line is the potential distribution when the ions are held in the internal space of the ion guide 51.
- the dotted line is the potential distribution when the voltage applied to the outlet side gate electrode 53 is lowered.
- the potential is inclined downward from the exit end of the collision cell 50 toward the orthogonal acceleration unit 56, the ions held until immediately before are accelerated toward the orthogonal acceleration unit 56.
- Ions having various mass-to-charge ratios held in the internal space of the ion guide 51 are released almost simultaneously from the ion guide 51, but the ion traveling direction (that is, the X-axis) before reaching the orthogonal acceleration unit 56.
- the ion traveling direction that is, the X-axis
- the orthogonal acceleration unit 56 since the acceleration energy applied to each ion is substantially the same, the smaller the mass-to-charge ratio, the higher the speed. Therefore, ions with a small mass-to-charge ratio reach the orthogonal acceleration unit 56 in advance, and arrive at the orthogonal acceleration unit 56 with a time delay in order of increasing mass-to-charge ratio.
- the Q-TOFMS described in Patent Document 1 improves the duty cycle of ions having a focused mass-to-charge ratio.
- the delay time t D from the application time t 1 of the pulse voltage for discharging ions from the collision cell 50 to the application time t 2 of the acceleration voltage in the orthogonal acceleration unit 56 depends on the mass-to-charge ratio of the target ion to be measured. (See FIG. 10C).
- the acceleration voltage is applied at the timing when the ion focused on by the analyst passes through the orthogonal acceleration unit 56, so that the duty cycle for the target ion having a specific mass-to-charge ratio is improved, and the detection sensitivity of the ion Will be improved.
- the Q-TOFMS has the following problems. (1) In order to change the mass-to-charge ratio of ions that improves the duty cycle in the Q-TOFMS, it is necessary to adjust the delay time t D with high accuracy. In order to adjust the delay time of the pulse signal on the order of microseconds, an element such as a highly accurate delay line is required, but such an element is expensive. Further, when the temporary holding of ions by the linear ion trap and the mass analysis of the ions by TOFMS are repeated in a predetermined cycle, that is, at a constant time interval, the acceleration timing in the orthogonal acceleration unit 56 is the target ion. If the mass-to-charge ratio is changed, the control becomes complicated.
- the duty cycle of ions other than the ions focused by the analyst is low (or practically hardly detected).
- the mass-to-charge ratio of a product ion to be observed is determined as in MRM (multiple reaction ion monitoring) measurement or precursor ion scan measurement, only the product ion has to be detected with high sensitivity.
- TOFMS is useful.
- the duty cycle cannot be increased for ions over a wide range of mass-to-charge ratios, we want to obtain mass spectra over a wide range of mass-to-charge ratios, such as product ion scan measurements and normal scan measurements that do not cleave ions. In some cases, it is necessary to perform measurement a plurality of times while shifting the mass-to-charge ratio range.
- an ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometer that performs mass analysis by ejecting ions once trapped in a three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap all at once from the ion trap is also described above.
- orthogonal acceleration is performed according to the mass-to-charge ratio of the target ions while keeping the delay time from the time when ions are emitted from the collision cell to the time when the acceleration voltage is applied at the orthogonal acceleration unit. It is necessary to have a configuration in which the mass-to-charge ratio of ions accelerated in the part can be controlled. Further, in order to solve the problem (2), it is necessary to cause ions having different mass-to-charge ratios to reach a desired point in the space almost simultaneously by a relatively simple configuration and simple control.
- the target mass-to-charge ratio has a target mass-to-charge ratio or a target narrow mass-to-charge ratio by a simple configuration and control.
- the first object is to measure ions included in the range with high sensitivity.
- the present invention expands the mass-to-charge ratio range of the ions used for the measurement by the TOFMS and suppresses the loss of the ions, thereby reducing the ions over a wide mass-to-charge ratio range.
- the second object is to measure the signal with high sensitivity.
- ions to be measured are temporarily held in the internal space of the ion guide, then ions are released from the ion guide and introduced into the orthogonal acceleration unit.
- the travel time required for ions to move (fly) from the ion guide to the orthogonal acceleration part is not only the magnitude of energy received by the ions at the start of the movement or during the movement, but also within the ion guide at the start of the movement. It depends on the initial position of ions, that is, the distance traveled.
- the initial position of the ions in the ion guide is forward (ie, away from the orthogonal acceleration section).
- the time required for movement can be made uniform regardless of the mass to charge ratio.
- the space for holding ions is small, such as a three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap, it is difficult to shift the initial position of the ions, but the linear ion trap is more effective than the three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap. Since the space to be held is large, the initial position of the ions can be shifted by controlling the position where the ions are held by the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions to be measured.
- the present invention has been made based on the above principle, and a first aspect of the present invention for achieving the first object includes an orthogonal acceleration unit that accelerates incident ions in a direction orthogonal to the incident axis thereof.

- the retention time direct current corresponding to the mass-to-charge ratio is set so that the potential barrier increases as the mass-to-charge ratio of the target ions decreases.
- a voltage is applied to the outlet side gate electrode.
- the ions held in the internal space of the ion guide are not stopped in the vicinity of a certain position, by the control of the holding time DC voltage as described above, the ion There are many. Therefore, when ions are released by applying a DC voltage during discharge to the exit-side gate electrode, some or many of the target ions move from an appropriate initial position to achieve a certain required movement time. As a result, the target ions can be incident on the orthogonal acceleration unit or the ion trap after a certain time required for the movement.

- the time until the ions leaving the internal space of the ion guide pass through the exit-side gate electrode it is possible to adjust the time until the ions leaving the internal space of the ion guide pass through the exit-side gate electrode, so that the ions can be discharged according to the mass-to-charge ratio or the mass-to-charge ratio range of the target ions.
- the time for the ions to reach the orthogonal acceleration section or the ion trap can be controlled with higher accuracy.
- the duty cycle for the target ions can be further increased.
- the control unit immediately before the ions held in the internal space of the ion guide are released, the control unit has a potential at the outlet side gate electrode.
- the DC voltage applied to the outlet side gate electrode is changed for a predetermined time so as to be higher than before. That is, it pushes back while giving a larger energy to each ion than before.
- ions in a wide range of mass-to-charge ratios can be accelerated and sent out to the flight space in the orthogonal acceleration unit. Ion intensity information over a specific range can be obtained.

- the mass-to-charge ratio or mass-to-charge ratio range of ions that can achieve the cycle can be freely changed. Thereby, ions having a specific mass-to-charge ratio or a specific narrow mass-to-charge ratio range can be detected with high sensitivity by simple configuration and control.
- the time-of-flight mass spectrometer according to the second aspect of the present invention, high ion trapping efficiency can be obtained without changing the delay time from the time when ions are released from the ion guide to the time when they are trapped in the ion trap.
- the mass-to-charge ratio or the mass-to-charge ratio range of ions that can achieve the above can be freely changed.

Note that, here, the case where the ion to be measured is a positive ion is illustrated, but when the ion to be measured is a negative ion, it is obvious that the polarity of the voltage may be reversed between positive and negative.
- the ion guide voltage generator 31 When holding ions in the internal space of the ion guide 14, the ion guide voltage generator 31 applies a voltage obtained by adding a high frequency voltage and a DC voltage to the four rod electrodes constituting the ion guide 14.

- the potential at the position of the exit-side gate electrode 132 is higher than the potential at the exit end of the ion guide 14 as indicated by a plurality of alternate long and short dash lines U 2 in FIG.
- a potential barrier is formed between the end (position P 1 in FIG. 2B) and the exit-side gate electrode 132 (position P 2 in FIG. 2B).
- the control unit 30 controls the exit-side gate electrode voltage generation unit 32 so as to change the voltage applied to the exit-side gate electrode 132 in accordance with the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to be measured. Specifically, the voltage applied to the outlet-side gate electrode 132 is increased as the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to be measured is smaller.

Is constant, the moving speed of each ion depends on the mass to charge ratio, and the smaller the mass to charge ratio, the higher the speed. On the other hand, since ions having a smaller mass to charge ratio have a longer moving distance, even if the velocity is higher than that of ions having a large mass to charge ratio, the difference in time required to reach the orthogonal acceleration unit 17 can be reduced. . This will be described using simulation results.

- the starting position of ions of m / z 400 is a position 0.5 mm before the exit side gate electrode 132, whereas the starting position of ions of m / z 100 having a smaller mass to charge ratio is The position is 5.5 [mm] before the exit-side gate electrode 132. In other words, the latter has a moving distance of 5 mm longer than the former.
- M / z custom character 100, m / z custom character 200, m / z custom character 300, and m / z custom character 400 are calculated as follows: 8.19037 [usec], 11.5829 [usec], 14.1861 [usec] and 16.3807 [usec].
- the voltage at the time of emission is ⁇ 1.5 [V]
- the time required for movement of ions having m / z 100 is about 14 [usec] and m / z 400.
- the time required for ion movement is about 16.1 [usec]. Therefore, the range of the required travel time is significantly narrower than the above results in which the initial positions of the ions are substantially the same, and the required travel time is roughly aligned by adjusting the ion start position according to the mass-to-charge ratio.
- the DC voltage at the time of emission is about ⁇ 1.8 [V] for ions having m / z 400, and the DC voltage at the time of emission for ions having m / z 100.
- the travel time can be all set to about 16 [usec]. Therefore, by appropriately setting the discharge DC voltage according to the mass-to-charge ratio of the ion to be measured, based on the relationship between the discharge DC voltage obtained by such a simulation or by a preliminary experiment and the required movement time, The mass-to-charge ratio dependency of the time to reach the orthogonal acceleration unit 17 can be substantially eliminated.
- the orthogonal acceleration unit voltage generator 34 applies acceleration voltages to the extrusion electrode 172 and the extraction electrode 173, respectively. To do.
- the delay time at this time is constant and is determined in advance corresponding to the required travel time.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic potential distribution diagram on the axis C
- FIG. 7 is a timing diagram of the applied voltage to the exit-side gate electrode and the applied voltage for orthogonal acceleration.
- the ion guide voltage generator 31 applies a high frequency voltage and a DC voltage to the four rod electrodes constituting the ion guide 14, respectively.
- the added voltage is applied, and the outlet-side gate electrode voltage generator 32 applies a predetermined DC voltage higher than the outlet end of the ion guide 14 to the outlet-side gate electrode 132.
- the voltage applied to the outlet side gate electrode 132 is constant. 6
- the exit end of the ion guide 14 at this time (the position of the point P 1 in FIG. 2B) and the first electrode plate of the ion transport optical system 16 (the point P 4 in FIG. 2B).
- the potential distribution between the two positions is indicated by a one-dot chain line U 2 .
- the height of the potential barrier is constant.
- the outlet-side gate electrode voltage generator 32 increases the voltage applied to the outlet-side gate electrode 132 when the predetermined time has passed from the time when ions are released from the internal space of the ion guide 14.
- the potential distribution at this time is indicated by a broken line U 5 .
- the time during which the large potential barrier is formed is very short, and subsequently, the voltage applied to the exit-side gate electrode 132 is lowered to a voltage lower than the voltage at the exit end of the ion guide 14.
- the voltage applied to the exit-side gate electrode 132 is lowered to a voltage lower than the voltage at the exit end of the ion guide 14.
- ions held in the internal space of the ion guide 14 are released, but the starting position of each ion at that time varies depending on the mass-to-charge ratio, and ions with a smaller mass-to-charge ratio enter the entrance of the ion guide 14. Near the edge. That is, as already described, the ion movement distance varies depending on the mass-to-charge ratio.
- FIG. 8 is a model configuration diagram assumed in the simulation calculation of ion movement in the Q-TOFMS of the second embodiment
- FIG. 9 shows the simulation result of the relationship between the push-back voltage and the movement time for ions having different mass-to-charge ratios.
- the time for applying the pushback voltage (t in FIG. 7) is 1.4 [usec].
- the time required to move ions is m / z 100, m / z 200, m / z 300, and m / z 400.
- a push-back voltage of 4.2 [V] is applied, the time required for movement of each ion of m / z 100, m / z 200, m / z 300, and m / z 400 is 22.2.
- the length of the region where ions are accelerated in the orthogonal acceleration unit 17 is about 30 to 40 [mm], and a difference in travel time of about several usec is acceptable. From this, it can be seen that by appropriately determining the pushback voltage, ions in a wide mass-to-charge ratio range can be introduced into the orthogonal acceleration unit 17 almost simultaneously and accelerated in the orthogonal acceleration unit 17.
- the present invention is applied to the Q-TOFMS using the orthogonal acceleration type TOFMS.
- the present invention is a linear that uses a three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap as an ion ejection source. It can also be applied to TOFMS or reflectron TOFMS.
- the orthogonal acceleration unit 17 in the configuration of the first and second embodiments may be replaced with a three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap. That is, the ion emitted from the ion guide 14 (or the collision cell 13) and passed through the ion transport optical system 16 is introduced into the inside of the ion trap from the ion entrance of the three-dimensional quadrupole ion trap. That's fine.

Description
Duty Cycle[%]={(測定に利用したイオン量)/(直交加速部へ到達したイオン量)}×100
(1)上記Q-TOFMSにおいてデューティサイクルが改善されるイオンの質量電荷比を変えるには、遅延時間tDを精度良く調整する必要がある。パルス信号の遅延時間をマイクロ秒オーダーで調整するには、高精度のディレイライン等の素子が必要になるが、そうした素子は高価である。また、リニア型イオントラップによるイオンの一時的な保持と該イオンに対するTOFMSでの質量分析とを決まったサイクルで、つまり一定時間間隔で繰り返す場合に、直交加速部56での加速のタイミングが目的イオンの質量電荷比によって変化すると制御が煩雑になる。
しかしながら、このTOFMSでは、イオンガイドを軸方向に複数に分割する必要があるとともに、それぞれに異なる高周波電圧を印加可能な電源が必要になる。また、質量電荷比に応じて電圧を変化させる際のシーケンスも複雑である。
a)測定対象であるイオンを一時的に保持するために、高周波電場によってイオンをイオン光軸付近に収束させるとともにイオン光軸上でイオン進行方向に下り傾斜のポテンシャル分布を有するイオンガイドと、該イオンガイドの出口端の外側に配置された出口側ゲート電極と、を含むイオン保持部と、

ポテンシャル障壁によって押し戻されたイオンは、実線U1で示されるポテンシャルの傾斜を上り、或る位置まで達するとエネルギがゼロになって方向を反転し、再びポテンシャルの傾斜を下る。図3(a)に示すようにポテンシャル障壁が高いと該障壁の傾斜が急であるため、イオンを押し戻すエネルギが大きく、押し戻されたイオンはイオンガイド14の出口端から遠い位置(点P3の位置)まで戻る。これに対し、図3(b)に示すようにポテンシャル障壁が低いと該障壁の傾斜は相対的に緩いため、イオンを押し戻すエネルギは小さく、押し戻されたイオンはイオンガイド14の出口端から近い位置(点P3’の位置)までしか戻らない。
なお、イオン輸送光学系16においてイオンをイオン光軸C付近に収束させつつ輸送するために、イオン輸送光学系電圧発生部33からイオン輸送光学系16に含まれる各電極板にはそれぞれ異なる電圧が印加されており、厳密にいえばその各電極板の設置位置のポテンシャルは同一ではないが、平均的にみれば一定であるとみなし得るので、図2(b)では点線でポテンシャル分布を示している。
