Problems solved by technology

A heating plate or heating tube is installed in front of the injection port to vaporize the sample. Usually, the volume of these injection devices is large, the sample analysis time is long, and the concentration of the sample is low. During the injection process, the sample is prone to local temperature unevenness. Losses due to instability of the sample flow, etc.

[0032] Accurately measure 1-50μL, 1ppt-100ppm different sample solutions with a micro-sampling needle. The sample to be tested is sampled through a manual injection needle with an injection volume of 1-20 μL, and the needle is directly inserted into the liner through the central concave hole of the injection septum (1). The sample injected into the liner is instantly vaporized at the set higher temperature....

Embodiment 2

[0035] figure 2 In the positive ion mode, this sampler is used to detect the ion mobility spectrum of 1pg dibutyl phthalate; use a micro-syringe to accurately measure 1μL of dibutyl phthalate solution with a concentration of 1ppb, that is, 1pg sample. In the positive ion mode, the ion mobility spectrometer was used as the detection instrument, and the sample was injected manually. In the positive ion mode, the air reagent ion peak (RIP) appears at about 4.08ms. The peak migration time of dibutyl phthalate is about 7.36ms. The signal is so strong that it nearly masks the air reagent ion peak.

[0036] Compared with the solenoid valve injector designed and developed before, 1pg is almost the detection limit of those instruments. It can be seen that this specially designed thermal desorption sampler is very sensitive for testing dibutyl phthalate.

In the negative ion mode, the ion mobility spectrometer was used as the detection instrument, and the sample was injected manually. In the negative ion mode, the air reagent ion peak (RIP) appears at about 6.12ms, and the signal strength is 400mv. The peak migration time of TNT is 9.02ms, and the signal strength is about 180mv. The TNT signal was weaker than the RIP signal, and the ratio of the two signals was 0.45.

Abstract

The invention relates to a sample introduction device for improving detection sensitivity of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) by improving the sample introduction efficiency of the IMS. The device comprises a sample introduction pad, a purging cavity inside the pad, a liner-containing thermal desorption chamber, an connector for the thermal desorption chamber and an ion mobility pipe, a heating rod, a temperature sensor and an external thermal insulation component. The IMS can be directly used for detection for gas phase, liquid phase or solid phase samples. The sample introduction efficiency of the sample is improved, and the sensitivity of the detected sample is improved. Compared with a traditional solenoid valve or a stepping motor sample injector, the sample introduction device has the advantages that the detection sensitivity of the IMS is greatly improved. Compared with a negative ion mode, the sensitivity for testing the TNT sample is 100 times higher, phthalic acid ester is tested in a positive ion mode, and the sensitivity for testing the dibutyl phthalate is 1000 times higher. With the designs of strict sealing structure, carrier gas preheating and the like, the detection repeatability of the tested sample is high, and qualitative and quantitative analysis test of the IMS is promoted.

Ion mobility spectrometry can be directly used for the detection of gas phase, liquid phase or solid phase samples. Generally, liquid phase or solid phase samples can be quickly and efficiently converted into gas phase and introduced into the IMS system for detection. The thermal desorption method is a sample injection method that is widely used at present. The sample is directly introduced into the sealed thermal desorber, which can be vaporized instantly. By increasing the sampling rate of the sample, the sensitivity of the detection sample is improved; the strictly sealed design structure, carrier gas preheat...
