Problems solved by technology

However, due to the involvement of chromatography and electron bombardment ionization, they also have defects: sample collection, concentration extraction and separation make the measurement laborious and time-consuming; electron bombardment ionization will form a variety of ion fragments, making mass spectrograms complex and difficult to analyze. High difficulty
Although the radioactive ion source is a non-polar discharge source with high ionization efficiency and can cause multiple ionizations, the ion flow is stable for a long time and the pollution is small, but the equipment of this discharge source must work at a higher voltage and the use of radioactive substances exists. Security risks

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of proton transfer ionization mass spectrometry analysis, in particular to a microwave plasma generator and a proton transfer ionization mass spectrometer using microwave plasma as an ionization source. Background technique [0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs for short) are the main pollutants in the atmosphere, water and soil environment. Long-term intake of VOCs may cause cancer, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity. In addition, VOCs in the air will also participate in photochemical reactions, leading to severe changes in the climate, such as acid rain, photochemical smog, organic aerosols, and the emergence of the greenhouse effect. Therefore, the highly sensitive detection of trace VOCs in the atmosphere, water and soil has always been a subject of special concern. Food also contains a lot of VOCs. By analyzing the volatiles of food, we can know the composition and quality of food. VOCs are also important com...
