Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method and device for generating ions for analysis, especially an ionization method and device for generating ions in multiple ways under relatively low pressure and using the multiple ion sources in combination. Background technique
[0002] For mass spectrometry analysis of macromolecules (such as proteins, peptides, and DNA molecules), softer ionization methods are usually required. The ionization methods currently used in this field generally include: electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI). These two ionization methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, ESI can generate multi-charged ions, and with high-resolution mass spectrometry, it can conveniently characterize macromolecules. Therefore, ESI sources have been widely used at present, but ESI generally cannot meet the requirements of high ionization at the same time. Throughput and high sensitivity; ...
