Problems solved by technology

Commonly used ion transmission interfaces include photon baffle type, off-axis deflection type, and 90-degree deflection type, etc. The photon baffle type has the problems of large ion loss, low transmission efficiency and mass discrimination; in the off-axis deflection type transmission interface, the sample substrate directly It is difficult to clean and maintain the lens parts on the surface of the ion lens, and the photon baffle type and off-axis deflection type mostly use horizontally placed rectangular tubes. Due to the thermal diffusion effect of the rectangular tube and plasma, there is a temperature difference between the upper and lower ends, which affects the temperature of the sample. ionization efficiency
Vertically placing the rectangular tube can solve the problem of the temperature difference of the rectangular tube. The existing vertically placed instruments mostly use deflection electrodes plus ion lenses or ion funnels during ion introduction. Although this method improves the selectivity of ions, but due to The flight path is longer, and the number of target ions entering the mass spectrometer will be reduced, resulting in a decrease in detection sensitivity
In addition, the combination of the two methods increases the volume of key components, which is extremely sensitive to trace moisture in the aerosol, and cannot fully atomize the sample metal elements.
When the sample enters the mass spectrometer through the plasma flame, it mostly exists in the form of metal ion conjugates composed of sample elements and different anions or water molecules, which are reflected in the mass spectrum as multiple mass spectrum peaks with different mass numbers, causing interference to mass spectrometry detection , which also reduces the sensitivity of the sample
