    Abstract: A time-of-flight mass spectrometry device includes an electrode to which a DC high voltage is applied in order to form an ion flight space and a high voltage power supply device that applies the high voltage to the electrode. The high voltage power supply device includes a high voltage generating circuit that generates the high voltage, and a voltage control circuit that is selectively set to a convergence responsiveness priority mode in which the high voltage generating circuit is controlled such that the high voltage has first convergence responsiveness and first stability or a stability priority mode in which the high voltage generating circuit is controlled such that the high voltage has second convergence responsiveness that is lower than the first convergence responsiveness and second stability that is higher than the first stability.

    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for charge state control of multiply-charged anions in a front end, high pressure ion guide. In some example aspects, a mass spectrometer system is provided comprising a first vacuum chamber (121) maintained at a pressure above about 500 mTorr. At least one ion guide (106) is disposed within the first vacuum chamber, the at least one ion guide comprising a plurality of rods extending along a central longitudinal axis. A controller (193) is configured to adjust an amplitude of an RF voltage signal provided to the plurality of rods so as to alternatively operate the ion guide in a first mode of operation with a lower amplitude of the RF voltage signal so as to reduce the likelihood of charge reduction by electron detachment so as to substantially maintain the isotopic distribution of the ions during transmission of ions through the ion guide, and a second mode of operation with a higher amplitude of the RF voltage signal so as to increase the likelihood of electron detachment from ions being transmitted therethrough.

    Abstract: A mass spectrometer includes an ion source, an ion guide, a quadrupole mass filter, a detector, DC and RF power sources, and a voltage control device for controlling an acceleration voltage by controlling the power source. The voltage controller controls the acceleration voltage such that it is increased as the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to be measured is increased within a control region. The control region is surrounded, having one coordinate axis representing the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions passing the ion guide and another axis representing the acceleration voltage applied to the ion guide, by a line representing a lower limit of a stable region where the ions pass the ion guide stably, a line representing an ion mobility of the ions, an upper side representing an upper limit of the acceleration voltage, and a lower side representing a value at which the acceleration voltage is zero.
