Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of instrumentation, and in particular to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer system for intelligent data processing and report generation. Background Art
[0002] Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a highly sensitive analytical technique used to analyze elemental composition and isotope ratios. It combines an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as an ion source and a mass spectrometer (MS) as a detector, enabling the precise determination of trace and even trace elements in samples.
[0003] Inductively coupled plasma is a high-temperature plasma torch generated by inductive coupling of a high-frequency electromagnetic field. When the carrier gas passes through a radio frequency coil, the gas is ionized and heated to form a plasma due to the action of the radio frequency energy. This high-temperature environment is sufficient to completely evaporate, atomize and ionize the sample entering it. However, in practical applications, it is not easy to achieve efficient and stable ionization. On the one hand, the complex physical and chemical processes of the plasma make the ionization efficiency easily affected by a variety of factors, such as the properties of the sample, the carrier gas flow rate, the radio frequency power, etc., making it difficult to maintain the ionization efficiency at a high level. On the other hand, the optimization of plasma conditions also faces many challenges. The presence of interfering ions will interfere with the determination of the target element, and traditional methods are not ideal in suppressing interfering ions.
[0004] The mass spectrometer is responsible for separating and detecting the ions from the ICP according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m / z). Ions of different mass numbers have different motion trajectories in an electric field or magnetic field, thus achieving separation. By detecting the signal intensities of these ions, the concentrations of each element in the sample can be quantitatively analyzed. However, in actual operation, traditional mass spectrometers have shortcomings in ion separation accuracy, especially the lack of effective means to eliminate the interference of polyatomic ions in complex samples, which can seriously affect the accuracy of the analysis results. At the same time, the signal acquisition dynamic range is narrow, and it is difficult to achieve comprehensive and accurate analysis for some complex samples with a large concentration range. As a result, traditional mass spectrometers have poor analytical precision and accuracy when analyzing complex samples, and cannot meet the needs of modern scientific research and industrial production for high-precision analysis of complex samples.
[0005] In the existing technology, the ionization efficiency is low and cannot be stably maintained at a high level. The plasma conditions are difficult to optimize and the interference ion suppression effect is poor. The ion separation accuracy is not high. There is a lack of effective means to eliminate the interference of polyatomic ions. The signal acquisition dynamic range is narrow, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of complex sample analysis. In addition, traditional mass spectrometers have poor analytical precision and accuracy when analyzing complex samples.
[0006] Based on this, the present invention provides an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer system with intelligent data processing and report generation to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer system with intelligent data processing and report generation. The bipolar radio frequency switching and AI-optimized reaction gas plasma source of the present invention realize efficient ionization. The AI optimization module monitors in real time and dynamically adjusts parameters to stabilize the ionization efficiency at 92%±2%. At the same time, the reaction gas control system can optimize the plasma conditions to suppress interfering ions, and the mass analyzer and detection unit use AI interference correction and QMS-TOF dual analyzer mode to achieve high-precision ion separation. The interference elimination module can automatically eliminate polyatomic ion interference, and the detection module realizes ultra-wide dynamic range signal acquisition, thereby improving the ionization efficiency, analysis precision and accuracy, effectively suppressing interference and enhancing the system's analysis capability for complex samples.
