    Abstract: A flow control device for aerosolised sample delivery in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analytical system is provided. The device includes a body that at least in part defines a sample flow separating region, the sample flow separating region having a longitudinal flow direction and having an upstream end through which the aerosolised sample enters and a downstream end through which a modified aerosolised sample exits. The body further includes an injection duct having an opening adjacent to the sample flow separating region, the injection duct configured to direct a stream of gas in an injection direction to the sample flow separating region. The injection direction is angled relative to the longitudinal flow direction such that, upon introduction of the stream of gas through the opening, a vortex flow is generated in the sample flow separating region, the vortex flow having a direction counter to the direction of flow of the aerosolised sample to provide control of droplet size in the modified aerosolised sample.

    Abstract: Methods of determining isobaric interference during mass analysis in a mass spectrometer are provided. The methods comprise comparing interference-free reaction profiles of a chemical species to reaction profiles of the same chemical species that may comprise isobaric interference, wherein a determination of a difference between the profiles is an indication of isobaric interference being present. Methods of quantifying isobaric interference are also provided, including methods of correcting isotope ratios determined in the presence of isobaric interference.

    Abstract: The present application provides a method for tracing wine origin based on multielements and stable isotopes, comprising the steps of:1) collecting wine samples from a plurality of origins;2) filtering each of the wine samples collected in step 1) using a pore size of 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane, and pouring 1.5 ml of a filtrate into an autosampler vial for carbon stable isotope ratio analysis of ethanol and glycerol; pouring 0.3 ml of the wine sample into a 12 ml glass tube with stopper for analyzing oxygen stable isotopes in the water; and pouring 0.5 ml of the wine sample into a 15 ml centrifuge tube, and adding 0.5 ml of concentrated HNO3, performing digestion overnight, and diluting to a constant volume of 10 ml to be tested;3) performing carbon stable isotope analysis, oxygen stable isotope ratio analysis and elemental analysis, respectively;4) utilizing information of the origins of the wine samples and analytical data of step 3) to perform statistical modeling to obtain a wine origin discrimination model coefficient matrix and a corresponding predicted accuracy rate of the origin discrimination;5) performing origin discrimination by using an unknown sample in the model, and ultimately determining attributes of the wine origin.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of ionizing a gaseous substance, in particular the ionizing or ionization of a gaseous substance in preparation for its analysis. A device is intended to make a discharge gas and a test substance ionizable in a flow-through mode without essentially destroying or fragmenting the sample substance. In order to avoid a high expenditure in terms of construction and equipment, the device is intended to be usable under ambient conditions and to ensure a high sensitivity in a possible analysis of an ionized substance. To this end, an ionizing device is used for flow-through ionization of a discharge gas and of a sample substance at an absolute pressure of more than 40 kPa in the ionizing device during ionization. The ionizing device comprises an inlet, an outlet, a first electrode, a dielectric element and a second electrode. The dielectric element is configured in the shape of a hollow body having an inner side and an outer side and it allows a flow of the discharge gas and of the sample substance therethrough in a flow direction. The first electrode is arranged outside of the outer side of the dielectric element. The second electrode is arranged, at least sectionwise, inside the dielectric element, is surrounded by the inner side of the dielectric element perpendicularly to the flow direction, and allows a flow of the discharge gas and of the sample substance therethrough or therearound. A distance in or contrary to the flow direction exists between the associated ends of the first and second electrodes and lies between -5 mm to 5 mm. A dielectric barrier discharge is establishable in a dielectric barrier discharge region by applying a voltage between the first and second electrodes so as to ionize the discharge gas or the sample substance.
