    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a filament of an electron emitter associated with an ion reaction cell in accordance with various aspects of the present teachings may account for inter-filament and inter-instrument variability and can provide improved reproducibility in EAD experiments and ease of use. In some aspects, a method of operating an ion reaction device of a mass spectrometer system is provided. The method comprises applying a calibration drive voltage to a filament of an electron emitter associated with an ion reaction cell and determining a value representative of the calibration electron emission current generated by the filament while having the calibration drive voltage applied thereto. A calibration saturation voltage can be determined by iteratively increasing the calibration drive voltage applied to the filament and determining the value of the calibration electron emission current at each corresponding calibration drive voltage until the filament reaches a saturation condition.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the analysis of single particles with inductively coupled plasma-time of flight mass spectrometry. An ion compression device is operated in combination with an image current detector to improve a duty cycle of particle analysis. The image current detection device is used to determine a start time and an end time of a separate ion cloud which is derived from a single particle. The ion compression device stores and compresses each ion cloud based on instructions from the image current detector. The duty cycle of the particle analysis can be improved up to nearly 100%. The ion compression device is additionally operated with an ion filtration device to achieve a lower detection limit and a higher signal-to-noise ratio.
