Problems solved by technology

Since there is no position where the AC potential is zero like in the end cap of the 3D ion trap, this makes it difficult to set up the field adjustment electrodes and apply the voltage
[0010] In addition, since ions in the linear ion trap may emerge from the extraction grooves of the two X electrodes after resonance excitation, it is structurally necessary to install ion detectors behind the two X electrodes to receive ion signals to the greatest extent, which increases the cost of the instrument

[0037] still refer to figure 1 An example of the present invention will be described. The structure of the two-dimensional linear ion trap is divided into front section 4, middle section 5 and back section 6. The front and back sections 4 and 6 are provided with relatively high potentials to generate axial constraints on ions (for positive ions, it is relatively high for negative ions). low potential, the same hereinafter). Each section has two pairs of main electrodes 1 and 2 in the X and Y directions, on which driving high-frequency voltages in opposite phases are applied to form a radial trapping electric field. In an alternative embodiment, the front section 4 and the rear section 6 can also be replaced by front and rear end cap electrodes, so as to generate a DC or AC trapped electric field in the axial direction. Ions are usually introduced from one end along the Z axis and are trapped in a linear region between two pairs of electrodes along the X and Y axes. If a dip...

Abstract

The invention relates to a linear ion trap analyzer. The linear ion trap analyzer comprises an ion trapping space surrounded by a plurality of cylinder electrodes, wherein high frequency voltage is applied to at least one part of cylinder electrodes so as to generate a radial trapping electric field which mainly has two dimensional quadrupole fields in the trapping space; at least one ion leading-out slot is formed on an ion trap in the direction perpendicular to a center axis, and an alternating electric field for exciting dipoles is overlapped in the direction; a strip-type field regulating electrode is arranged in a slit in the cylinder electrode right opposite to the ion leading-out slot, or in the gap between two cylinder electrodes; and the voltage on the field regulating electrode is set as the sum of all or one part of the high frequency voltage on the adjacent cylinder electrode and direct current (DC) voltage, and the DC voltage can be regulated as required. By setting the field regulating electrode and regulating the DC voltage, one or more aims of optimizing a field form in a linear ion trap and influencing ion motion characteristics during resonance excitation can be fulfilled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technique of using ion traps to perform mass spectrometry analysis on ions, in particular to a linear ion trap analyzer with optimized electric field. Background technique [0002] The traditional quadrupole field ion trap technology has been greatly developed since the 1950s and is widely used in mass spectrometry instruments. Many literatures and patents in this regard are included in the book "Practical Aspects of Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry" written by R.E.March and J.F.J.Todd. The three-dimensional rotating ion trap consists of a ring electrode and a pair of end cap electrodes, forming an analysis space between them, applying a radio frequency voltage on the ring electrode to generate a quadrupole field to trap ions, and applying a dipole alternating voltage between the two end caps Excite ions and selectively discharge ions to achieve the purpose of mass scanning. [0003] Since its commercialization, the two-dimensi...
