Embodiment 1
[0056] As mentioned earlier, when using a differential ion mobility spectrometer for ion detection, ions with different ion mobility are selected by changing the differential ion mobility spectrometer migration voltage. When it is desired to obtain a spectrum within the entire range of ion mobility, it is necessary to perform a step-by-step sweep of the analyzer's migration voltage. This process is usually very time-consuming. In order to achieve balance at each step, the time for one scan is usually several seconds to tens of seconds. To increase the efficiency of this analysis process, multiplex detection methods can be used. Figure 1A The structure in which the ion source is connected to the array of the flat panel differential ion mobility spectrometer is shown. Such as Figure 1A As shown, an ion source array 1 is connected to a flat-plate differential ion mobility spectrometry analyzer array (F-DMAA) 2, and ions extracted from the F-DMAA 2 can enter the next-stage flat-...
Embodiment 2
[0064] The basic principle of the ion analyzer in this embodiment is similar to that of Embodiment 1, but the difference is that in this embodiment, the Differential Mobility Spectrometer Analyzer Array (DMAA) and the Ion Trap Array (ITA) are both cylindrical, respectively referred to as C-DMAA 11 and C-ITA 13 are connected through a cylindrical ion transport channel array 12, such as Figure 2A shown. In this embodiment, each channel of the C-DMAA 11 has a centrosymmetric structure, and each channel is radially symmetrically distributed corresponding to the center line. Figure 2B Further showing the cross-sectional structure of C-ITA 13, the analysis units in the array are distributed in a complete circle around the same central axis, which can further focus the ions emitted from multiple analysis units in the array on the central axis of the device superior.
[0065] In addition, axial emission ion detectors can be set up at the outlets on the end cover of C-ITA 13 to det...
Embodiment 3
[0070] The basic principle of the ion analyzer in this embodiment is very similar to that in Embodiment 1, but the difference is that the mass analyzer array in this embodiment uses a quadrupole array. Such as image 3 As shown, each quadrupole in the planar quadrupole array (F-QA) 15 is connected to one F-DMAA unit in the F-DMAA 2 through a planar ion transport channel array 3 . Similar to the previous example, each unit of F-QA 15 can work in different modes according to the situation, and can be combined with different working modes of F-DMAA 2 to adapt to different application requirements. For example, when each channel of F-DMAA 2 works in synchronous mode, all units of F-QA 15 also work in synchronous mode, so as to increase the sensitivity when monitoring and confirming a certain ion. Alternatively, the different units of the F-QA 15 can be divided into groups so that ions of similar structure are monitored in different possible mass ranges. When each channel of F-DM...
