    Abstract: An inlet and vacuum system for a portable, or handheld, mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer comprises three vacuum chambers, which includes two ion funnels connected in series in the first two vacuum chambers, followed by a mass spectrometer analyzer and ion detector in the third vacuum chamber. The ion funnels are arranged with their central axes aligned in a linear fashion. The sample inlet to the portable mass spectrometer is from an external ion source, typically operating at atmospheric, or near atmospheric, pressure. An improvement in desolvation, and a reduction in the injection of neutrals, excited state molecules, and particulates into the analyzer is achieved by incorporating a lateral offset for the inlet capillary used to transfer ions into the first injection funnel. Additional efficiency for ion focusing is achieved by replacing the ion guide, typically used with atmospheric pressure ionization sources, with an additional ion funnel.

    Abstract: An atmospheric pressure ionization apparatus includes a chamber, an ion inlet structure, an electrode, a sample emitter, and a gas passage. The ion inlet structure includes a sampling orifice. The electrode includes an electrode bore. An ionization region is defined between the ion inlet structure and the electrode. The flared structure is coaxially disposed about the ion inlet structure, and extends along an outward direction that includes a radial component relative to the sampling axis. The sample emitter is oriented at an angle to the sampling axis for directing a sample stream toward the ionization region. The gas passage directs a stream of gas from a gas source to the chamber. The flared structure and the wall cooperatively form an outward-directed portion of the gas passage that extends annularly about the sampling axis and along the outward direction. The gas flows through the outward-directed portion, around the flared structure, and toward the ionization region and the electrode bore.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing mass spectroscopy uses an ion interface to provide the function of removing undesirable particulates from an ion stream from an atmospheric pressure ion source, such as an electrospray source or a MALDI source, before the ion stream enters a vacuum chamber containing the mass spectrometer. The ion interface includes an entrance cell with a bore that may be heated for desolvating charged droplets when the ion source is an electrospray source, and a particle discrimination cell with a bore disposed downstream of the bore of the entrance cell and before an aperture leading to the vacuum chamber. The particle discrimination cell creates gas dynamic and electric field conditions that enables separation of undesirable charged particulates from the ion stream.

    Abstract: An on-axis ion source has an ionization chamber and an adjacent low-pressure region. The on-axis ion source also includes a capillary tube having an axial bore for supporting fluid communication between the ionization chamber and the adjacent low-pressure region, the axial bore of the capillary tube being substantially concentrically aligned with the orifice of a skimmer located downstream in the ion path from the capillary tube. A blocking element is provided in an aligned facing arrangement with the axial bore of the capillary tube and on an opposite side of the orifice relative to the capillary tube. The blocking element receives droplets or particles flowing through the axial bore of the capillary tube and passing through the orifice of the skimmer. The combination of an on-axis arrangement and the use of a blocking element results in improved signal-to-noise level due to enhanced ion transmission and reduction of noise arising from passage of undesolvated droplets and particles to the mass analyzer.
