    Abstract: A system of mass spectrometry is disclosed having an ion source for generating ions at substantially atmospheric pressure. The system has a sampling member with an orifice disposed therein. The sampling member forms a vacuum chamber with a mass spectrometer. The system also has a curtain plate between the ion source and the sampling member. The curtain plate has an aperture therein, having a cross-section and being spaced from the sampling member to define a flow passage between the curtain plate and the sampling member, and to define an annular gap between the orifice and the aperture. The area of the annular gap is less than the cross-sectional area of the aperture. The system also has a power supply for applying a voltage to the curtain plate, and a curtain gas flow mechanism for directing a curtain gas into the flow passage and the annular gap.

    Abstract: A mass spectrometer or ion mobility spectrometer is disclosed comprising: an ion block (2) for receiving ions; a heater (8) for heating the ion block (2); a vacuum housing (6); and an interface block (4) arranged between the ion block (2) and the vacuum housing (6); wherein the interface block (4) is formed from a polymer. The polymer interface block (4) inhibits the heat transfer from the ion block (2) to the vacuum housing (6) and also electrically isolates the ion block (2) and vacuum housing (6). The interface block (4) further comprises at least one conduit (12) through the body of the interface block (4). This enables gas to be transmitted through the interface block (4) to the ion block (2), and also enables the interface block (4) to be cooled.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for mass spectrometry using laserspray ionization (LSI). LSI can create multiply-charged ions at atmospheric pressure for analysis and allows for analysis of high molecular weight molecules including molecules over 4000 Daltons. The analysis can be solvent-based or solvent-free. Solvent-free analysis following LSI allows for improved spatial resolution beneficial in surface and/or tissue imaging.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an ionization chamber for connection to a mass spectrometer. The ionization chamber has a temperature-control block with a gas inlet and a gas channel which starts at the gas inlet and leads into a gas outlet. A temperature-control device is positioned along the gas channel and ensures that a gas flowing in the gas channel is brought to a specific temperature, i.e. it is heated or cooled, before it enters the ionization chamber. The temperature-control block has a formed part into which a structure of the gas channel is incorporated and which is fabricated by means of a sol-gel process, for example out of a glass or ceramic material.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to electrospray ionization (ESI) at atmospheric pressure coupled with a mass spectrometer, in particular to a special kind of micro-electrospray with liquid flows in the range of 0.1 to 100 microliters per minute. The invention describes the use of an off-axis pre-entrance channel in an ESI ion source to prevent particulate matter with higher inertia than the (charged) gas molecules, such as droplets, from entering the mass spectrometer. The elimination of the particulate matter improves the quantitative precision of an LC/MS bioassay, minimizes the contamination of the mass spectrometer and improves the robustness for high throughput assays.

    Abstract: A mass analyzer includes a desolvation chamber into which an upstream gas is injected to provide a counter-flow to said downstream flow in the chamber. The counter-flow may slow the downstream flow of solvated ionized particles in the chamber, while allowing lighter desolvated ions to travel toward an outlet aperture of the desolvation chamber.
