Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tuning agent sampling devices, and particularly to a tuning agent sampling device with flow control. Background Art

[0002] A mass spectrometer is a precision, efficient, and multi-functional analytical instrument that separates molecules of different molecular weights according to the mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) of ions, determines the molecular weight, and performs component and structure analysis. The mass spectrometer has an ion source, a mass analyzer, and an ion detector as its core. After the molecules are ionized by the ion source, they are further fragmented into multiple fragment ions and neutral particles of smaller mass, enter the mass analyzer, and the separated ions enter the ion detector in sequence, where the ion signals are collected and amplified, and then processed by a computer to draw a mass spectrum.

[0003] During the application process of the mass spectrometer, in order to obtain better data, it is necessary to optimize the parameters of the mass spectrometer using a tuning agent before sample analysis, and this process is called the tuning of the mass spectrometer. During tuning, the voltage of the ion source component is set to obtain the correct peak width, and the mass axis is set to ensure correct mass distribution. A good tuning result is the premise for the stable and efficient operation of the mass spectrometer.

[0004] The tuning agent sampling device is a device that introduces the tuning agent into the ion chamber of the mass spectrometer. The design of the tuning device should ensure the stability of the introduced amount of the tuning agent, improve the ionization efficiency, and ensure no interference with the inlet of the mass spectrometer. The traditional tuning device volatilizes the tuning agent and freely enters the ion source through a solenoid valve, and its flow rate cannot be controlled. The difference in flow rate will affect the stability of the response intensity of the mass spectrometry tuning signal.

[0005] When the tuning agent freely enters the ion source through the solenoid valve and the flow rate cannot be controlled, there is a problem that the difference in flow rate affects the stability of the response intensity of the mass spectrometry tuning signal. In view of this, a tuning agent sampling device with flow control is provided. Summary of the Utility Model

The bottom of the solenoid valve is fixedly connected to a sample valve seat. A micro flow regulating valve for regulating the flow rate is arranged on one side of the sample valve seat. The sample valve seat is fixedly connected to a vacuum flange.

[0008] Among them, a micro-flow regulating valve sampling tube and a micro-flow regulating valve sample outlet tube are installed on the sample valve seat. A compression nut is arranged inside the sample valve seat. A capillary tube is connected to the lower end of the compression nut. A joint is arranged at the lower end of the capillary tube.
