Detection of cw-related species in complex aerosol particles deposited on surfaces with an ion trap-based aerosol mass spectrometer

Journal Article Harris, William A ; Reilly, Pete ; Whitten, William B - Analytical Chemistry

A new type of aerosol mass spectrometer was developed by minimal modification of an existing commercial ion trap to analyze the semivolatile components of aerosols in real time. An aerodynamic lens-based inlet system created a well-collimated particle beam that impacted into the heated ionization volume of the commercial ion trap mass spectrometer. The semivolatile components of the aerosols were thermally vaporized and ionized by electron impact or chemical ionization in the source. The nascent ions were extracted and injected into the ion trap for mass analysis. The utility of this instrument was demonstrated by identifying semivolatile analytes in complex aerosols.more »« less

Ultra-sensitive mass spectrometer system for quantitative biological studies

Journal Article Reynolds, W D ; Mitchum, R K ; Newton, J ; ... - Chem. Instrum.; (United States)

A dedicated minicomputerized high pressure ionization mass spectrometer with pulse-counting electronics was developed for quantitative biological studies using the molecular isotope dilution method. The two-chamber differentially pumped vacuum system maintained by two 800 l/s turbomolecular pumps contains a /sup 3///sub 8/-in. quadrupole analyzer, ion detector, and low pressure ion collection optics. Ions that are produced in the ion-molecule reaction chamber and initiated by the /sup 63/Ni source are carried through a 40 ..mu..m aperture by the N/sub 2/ gas jet. The low pressure optics focus the ions into the quadrupole mass spectrometer while the bulk of the gas is pumpedmore »« less

Transportable real-time single-particle ion trap mass spectrometer

Journal Article Harris, William A ; Reilly, Peter T.A. ; Whitten, William B ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A transportable ion trap mass spectrometer for real-time detection and characterization of individual airborne particles was constructed by minimal modification of a commercial ion trap mass spectrometer. A blank flange was replaced with a flange containing an aerodynamic lens based inlet, light scattering detection optics and ablation/ionization laser optics. Four holes were drilled into the ring electrode. Timing electronics boards running off of in-place power systems were added and integrated with the existing software. The modified mass spectrometer and laser system was packaged in a rugged wheeled frame for easy transport. Particles entered the instrument through a 100 {mu}m orificemore »« less

Detection of Chemical/Biological Agents and Stimulants using Quadrupole Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry

Conference Harmon, S H ; Hart, K J ; Vass, A A ; ...

Detection of Chemical/Biological Agents and Simulants A new detector for chemical and biological agents is being developed for the U. S. Army under the Chemical and Biological Mass Spectrometer Block II program. The CBMS Block II is designed to optimize detection of both chemical and biological agents through the use of direct sampling inlets [I], a multi- ported sampling valve and a turbo- based vacuum system to support chemical ionization. Unit mass resolution using air as the buffer gas [2] has been obtained using this design. Software to control the instrument and to analyze the data generated from the instrumentmore »« less

Small system for tritium accelerator mass spectrometry

Patent Application Roberts, M L ; Davis, J C

This invention is comprised of an apparatus for ionizing and accelerating a sample containing isotopes of hydrogen and detecting the ratios of hydrogen isotopes contained in the sample. An ion source generates a substantially linear ion beam including ions of tritium from the sample. A radiofrequency quadrupole accelerator is directly coupled to and axially aligned with the source at an angle of substantially zero degrees. The accelerator accelerates species of the sample having different mass to different energy levels along the same axis as the ion beam. A spectrometer is used to detect the concentration of tritium ions in themore »« less
