    Abstract: In one aspect, an electron capture dissociation (ECD) device for use in a mass spectrometer is disclosed, which is configured to trap precursor ions and cause the trapped precursor ions (or a portion thereof) to exit the ion trap, via radial excitation thereof by a resonant AC voltage, such that the released precursor ions can enter an ion-electron interaction region in which at least a portion of the precursor ions undergo fragmentation via interaction with an electron beam. The fragment ions are trapped and prevented from undergoing multiple dissociations. Once the fragmentation of the precursor ions is completed and/or after a predefined period, the fragment ions are released from the ECD to be received by downstream components of the mass spectrometer in which the ECD device is incorporated.

    Abstract: An orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer in which an ion injected into an orthogonal acceleration area is periodically accelerated in a direction orthogonal to a direction of the injection and thereby ejected into a flight space. The mass spectrometer includes: an orthogonal acceleration electrode; a voltage supplier for applying a fixed level of voltage to the orthogonal acceleration electrode with a predetermined period; a TOF determiner for detecting an ion after a completion of a flight of the ion within the flight space, and determining the TOF of the ion; a storage section in which mass determination information defining a relationship between the TOF and mass-to-charge ratio of the ion depending on the period of the applied voltage is stored; and a mass-to-charge-ratio determiner for determining the mass-to-charge ratio of an ion from the TOF of the ion determined by the TOF determiner, based on the mass determination information.

    Abstract: Mass analyzers and methods of ion detection for a mass analyzer are provided. An electrostatic field generator provides an electrostatic field causing ion packets to oscillate along a direction. A pulse transient signal is detected over a time duration that is significantly shorter than a period of the ion oscillation or using pulse detection electrodes having a width that is significantly smaller than a span of ion harmonic motion. A harmonic transient signal is also detected. Ion intensity with respect to mass-to-charge ratio is then identified based on the pulse transient signal and the harmonic transient signal.

    Abstract: Mass spectrometry is performed utilizing an electron ionization (EI) source. The EI source ionizes a sample at different electron energies, including below and above 70 eV. The EI source may be utilized for soft ionization as well as hard ionization. The value of the electron energy may be selected so as to favor the formation of molecular ions or other ions of high analytical value. The ion source may be an axial ion source.

    Abstract: A cathode configuration for emission of electrons has a reaction zone connected to an entrance opening for the supply of neutral particles. The opening communicates with the cathode configuration for the ionization of the neutral particles and an ion extraction system communicates with the reaction zone. Ions from the extraction system are sent to a detection system and a mechanism for the evacuation of the mass spectrometer arrangement. The cathode configuration includes a field emission cathode with an emitter surface, wherein at a short distance from this emitter surface, an extraction grid is disposed for the extraction of electrons, which grid substantially covers the emitter surface. The emitter surface encompasses herein at least partially a hollow volume such that a tubular structure is formed.
