Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for the identification and/or characterization of properties of a macromolecule based on mass spectrometry data. Specifically, described herein are methods and apparatuses for converting peptide-level data into a pseudo-intact mass spectra. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for converting peptide-level data into a pseudo-electropherogram. The methods may be well suited for analyzing proteins and protein complexes, including estimating properties of post-translational modifications of the proteins and protein complexes. Methods may include generating a theoretical graph or spectrum based on peptide-level mass spectrometry data. In some embodiments, the theoretical graph may be a theoretical intact mass spectrum or a theoretical charge distribution spectrum.

Abstract: The present application provides a detection method of metal impurity in wafer. The method comprises conducting a medium temperature thermal treatment for a first predicted time period to the wafer, cooling the wafer and conducting a low temperature thermal treatment for a second predicted time period, cooling the wafer to ambient temperature; providing a liquid of vapor phase decomposition on the wafer to collect metal impurities; atomizing the liquid containing the collected metal impurities, conducting an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis and obtaining concentrations of the metal impurities. The present application applies the combination of various thermal treatment without an interrupt of cooling to ambient temperature to contemplate diffusions of various metal impurities to the wafer surface. Accordingly, the detection of metal impurities can be conducted with reduced time cost and enhanced efficiency.

Abstract: An ion optical arrangement (1) for use in a mass spectrometer comprises electrodes (11, 12, 14) comprising a multipole arrangement defining an ion optical axis, and a voltage source for providing voltages to the electrodes to produce electric fields. The ion optical arrangement is configured for producing a radio frequency electric focusing field for focusing ions on the ion optical axis. The radio frequency electric focusing field has a varying frequency so as to reduce any mass dependence of ion trajectories through the ion optical arrangement. The ion optical arrangement may further be configured for producing a static electric field in response to a DC bias voltage applied to the multipole arrangement. A superimposed varying electric field may be produced by superimposing an AC voltage upon the DC bias voltage.

Abstract: Provided are synthetic dendrimer calibrants for mass spectrometry. The calibrants are distinguished by their relative case and rapidity of synthesis, comparatively low cost, long shelf life, high purity, and amenability to batch synthesis as mixtures. The latter characteristic enables parallel preparation of higher molecular weight compounds displaying useful distributions of discrete molecular weights, thereby providing multi-point mass spectrometry calibration standards. Methods of making, tuning and using said calibrants are provided.

Abstract: A method of the present invention is a method of inferring a content ratio of a component in a sample containing a component selected from K types, including: heating a sample set, ionizing resultant gas components sequentially, and observing mass spectra continuously; acquiring two-dimensional mass spectra of the respective samples from the mass spectra, and merging two or more of these spectra to acquire a data matrix; performing non-negative matrix factorization on the data matrix; correcting an intensity distribution matrix through analysis on canonical correlation between a base spectrum matrix and the data matrix; acquiring a feature vector from a corrected intensity distribution matrix and expressing the sample in vector space; defining a K-1 dimensional simplex and determining an end member; and inferring a content ratio of the component in the sample on the basis of the end member and the feature vector. It is possible to infer the composition of a component in an unknown mixture even from a mass spectrum acquired under an ambient condition.

Abstract: A sample support is used for ionization of a sample. The sample support includes a film part having a first front surface and a first back surface, the film part being formed with a plurality of through-holes, and a support part defining a measurement region for ionizing the sample with respect to the film part and supporting the film part. The support part includes an inner portion having a second front surface and a second back surface, the film part being fixed to the inner portion, and an outer portion having a third front surface and a third back surface and extending along an outer edge of the inner portion. A difference generated between a position of the first front surface and a position of the third front surface in a thickness direction of the film part is smaller than a thickness of the film part.

Abstract: A method is disclosed comprising: trapping ions in an ion trap (40); applying a first force on the ions within the ion trap in a first direction, said force having a magnitude that is dependent upon the value of a physicochemical property of the ions; applying a second force on these ions in the opposite direction so that the ions separate according to the physicochemical property value as a result of the first and second forces; and then pulsing or driving ions out of one or more regions of the ion trap.
