This invention relates to the field of industrial
quality control and rapid
mass spectrometry analysis technology, and discloses a method, device, and
system for rapid in-situ / environmental
ionization mass spectrometry screening and split determination of target residues in industrial samples. This method addresses time-sensitive scenarios such as incoming material acceptance, process anomaly location, on-site inspection, and emergency splitting. It tackles the challenges of complex industrial sample matrices, low target
analyte content, and the need for enrichment and long cycles for confirmatory detection. The method constructs a closed-loop process: "minimalist sampling / introduction – in-situ / environmental
ionization –
mass spectrometry acquisition – background reference – candidate
ion set – matching and exclusion discrimination – splitting decision output." The method acquires sample and background reference spectra within the same
acquisition time window or equivalent time window. Candidate feature
ion sets are extracted through
background subtraction / difference
spectroscopy. Combined with
repeatability stability, sample / background contrast thresholds, and
isotope / adjunct / accompanying
ion consistency rules, reference
fingerprint database matching and environmental background / non-target spectral exclusion are performed. The
system outputs a screening conclusion of "suspected presence / suspected absence / requires
verification" and provides
triage suggestions for further confirmation (GC-MS, LC-MS / MS, or
tandem mass spectrometry). The
system integrates sampling / introduction,
ionization,
mass spectrometry detection, and
data processing decision modules. It is adaptable to gas / liquid /
solid samples, covering volatile and transpolar molecular systems, and offers advantages such as high speed, low preparation cost, engineerable deployment, and
reduced risk of misjudgment.
