AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing photoionization sources, the reagent ionization region is connected to the sample ionization region, which makes the optical window easily contaminated by the sample under low pressure conditions, resulting in signal instability. Furthermore, the stability of vacuum ultraviolet lamps is poor under low vacuum conditions, affecting detection sensitivity.

Method used

A variable pressure reagent molecule-assisted photoionization source is designed to separate the reagent molecule ionization region from the ion molecule reaction region. After the reagent ions are generated under near-atmospheric pressure conditions, they enter the ion molecule reaction region with lower pressure through capillary tubes and differential electrode orifices, where they chemically ionize with the sample. The chemical ionization efficiency is improved by using a segmented radio frequency quadrupole.

Benefits of technology

It effectively avoids light window contamination, improves the stability and detection sensitivity of the photoionization source, and enhances chemical ionization efficiency.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种变气压试剂分子辅助光电离源,其结构包括,真空紫外灯、试剂离子产生区Ⅰ、毛细管差分区Ⅱ和离子分子反应区Ⅲ。本电离源在大气压条件下光电离产生试剂离子,试剂离子经毛细管和差分电极传输至离子分子反应区与样品分子发生化学电离,然后传输至质谱进行检测。试剂离子组分较为简单,大气压条件下,真空紫外灯光窗表面不容易被污染,并且复杂样品不会与光窗接触,有利于长时间工作的稳定性。分段射频四极杆在较低气压下具有良好的聚焦性能,射频电场可提高化学电离的电离效率和传输效率。
