Abstract:
A lens for electron capture dissociation may include: a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart from each other and arranged along a first direction; and a third electrode and a fourth electrode spaced apart from each other and arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first electrode and the second electrode may be disposed in a space in which a magnetic field is formed in the first direction and trap electrons. The third electrode and the fourth electrode may be in the form of a flat plate and may apply an electric field to the trapped electrons in the second direction.
Abstract:
An ion regulator for a mass spectrometer may include: a first extraction lens having a first hole through which ions can pass; and a second extraction lens electrically isolated from the first extraction lens and having a second hole which is aligned with the first hole so that the ions passing through the first hole can pass therethrough. The surface of the first hole may be inclined with respect to the moving direction of the ions. Use of the ion regulator will simplify the overall structure of a mass spectrometer and control parameters therefor, and will allow the development of a reliable and efficient compact mass spectrometer.
