Non‐vacuum field desorption ion source implemented under super‐atmospheric pressure

Standard field desorption (FD) ionization is implemented under high vacuum condition. In this paper, non‐vacuum FD is performed under a super‐atmospheric pressure environment using untreated tungsten wires as FD emitter, and the ion source was coupled to a commercial linear ion trap mass spectrometer. The operating pressure of the ion source was 6 bars which was high enough to provide sufficient dielectric strength to the working gas so that the high voltage that was required for FD could be applied to the emitter without occurrence of electrical discharge. Non‐volatile sample deposited on the bare tungsten wire FD emitter was heated by flowing direct current through the emitter. Similar to vacuum FD, the formation of conical protrusion of the liquefied sample layer under the strong electric field was also observed. Using the present ion source, high pressure field‐desorption of polar neutral compounds, organic salts and ionic liquids is demonstrated. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Internal glow discharge-fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry

A glow discharge (GD) ion source has been developed to work within the high magnetic field of a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer. Characterization of this source revealed that the optimum operating voltage, pressure, and current are significantly lower than those for normal glow discharges. The sputter rate was lowered to 1/30th of that found with a normal glow discharge source operated external to the high magnetic field region. Operation of the GD source closer to the FTICR analyzer cell than with previous experimental designs resulted in improved ion transport efficiency. Preliminary results from this internal GD source have established detection limits in the low parts per million range for selected elemental species.     

Development of ambient sampling chemi/chemical ion source with dielectric barrier discharge

The development of a new configuration of chemical ionization (CI)‐based ion source is presented. The ambient air containing the gaseous sample is sniffed into an enclosed ionization chamber which is of sub‐ambient pressure, and is subsequently mixed with metastable species in front of the ion inlet of the mass spectrometer. Metastable helium atoms (He*) are used in this study as the primary ionizing agents and are generated from a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) source. The DBD is powered by an AC high‐voltage supply and the configuration of the electrodes is in such a way that the generated plasma is confined within the discharge tube and is not extended into the ionization chamber. The construction of the ion source is simple, and volatile compounds released from the bulky sample can also be analyzed directly by approaching the sample to the sampling nozzle. When combined with heated nitrogen or other desorption methods, its application can also be extended to non‐volatile compounds, and the consumption for helium can be kept minimum solely for maintaining the stable discharge and gas phase ionization. Applications to non‐proximate sample analysis, direct determination of active ingredients in drug tablets and the detection of trace explosive such as hexamethylene triperoxide diamine are demonstrated.

High Pressure (>1 atm) Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

High pressure electrospray ionization mass spectrometry has been performed by pressurizing a custom made ion source chamber with compressed air to a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. The ion source was coupled to a commercial time-of-flight mass spectrometer using a nozzle-skimmer arrangement. The onset voltage for the electrospray of aqueous solution was found to be independent on the operating pressure. The onset voltage for the corona discharge, however, increased with the rise of pressure following the Paschen’s law. Thus, besides having more working gas for the desolvation process, gaseous breakdown could also be avoided by pressurizing the ESI ion source with air to an appropriate level. Stable electrospray ionization has been achieved for the sample solution with high surface tension such as pure water in both positive and negative ion modes. Fragmentation of labile compounds during the ionization process could also be reduced by optimizing the operating pressure of the ion source.     

Super‐atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry

Super‐atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry was performed using a commercial mass spectrometer by pressurizing the ion source with compressed air up to 7 atm. Similar to typical APCI source, reactant ions in the experiment were generated with corona discharge using a needle electrode. Although a higher needle potential was necessary to initiate the corona discharge, discharge current and detected ion signal were stable at all tested pressures. A Roots booster pump with variable pumping speed was installed between the evacuation port of the mass spectrometer and the original rough pumps to maintain a same pressure in the first pumping stage of the mass spectrometer regardless of ion source pressure. Measurement of gaseous methamphetamine and research department explosive showed an increase in ion intensity with the ion source pressure until an optimum pressure at around 4–5 atm. Beyond 5 atm, the ion intensity decreased with further increase of pressure, likely due to greater ion losses inside the ion transport capillary. For benzene, it was found that besides molecular ion and protonated species, ion due to [M + 2H]⁺ which was not so common in APCI, was also observed with high ion abundance under super‐atmospheric pressure condition.

Negative Corona Discharge Ion Source Under Ambient Conditions with Mini Line-cylinder Electrodes

A novel ambient negative corona discharge ion source with mini line-cylinder electrodes is designed. The diameters of inner and outer electrode are 0.16 and 4 mm respectively. With a special assembly method, a perfect coaxiality of the two electrodes is obtained. An injection system utilizing a temperature control technique, achieves a constant and stable concentration of the sample, which is critical to the experiment. The formulas of the corona onset voltage of line-cylinder electrodes are also introduced. The experiment results show that negative substances such as formic acid and acetic acid can be ionized under ambient conditions. When combined with micro electrical mechanical system fabricationprocess, the volume of the ion source can be reduced dramatically, but there is an undesirable surface discharge. To solve the surface discharge problem, an improved structure was designed and tested. The simplicity of the interface of the ion source makes it suitable for mass spectrometer, micro mass spectrometer, ion mobility spectrometer, and high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer applications.     

Development of a dielectric barrier discharge ion source for ambient mass spectrometry

A new ion source based on dielectric barrier discharge was developed as an alternative ionization source for ambient mass spectrometry. The dielectric barrier discharge ionization source, termed as DBDI herein, was composed of a copper sheet electrode, a discharge electrode, and a piece of glass slide in between as dielectric barrier as well as sample plate. Stable low-temperature plasma was formed between the tip of the discharge electrode and the surface of glass slide when an alternating voltage was applied between the electrodes. Analytes deposited on the surface of the glass slide were desorbed and ionized by the plasma and the ions were introduced to the mass spectrometer for mass analysis. The capability of this new ambient ion source was demonstrated with the analysis of 20 amino acids, which were deposited on the glass slide separately. Protonated molecular ions of [M + H](+) were observed for all the amino acids except for L-arginine. This ion source was also used for a rapid discrimination of L-valine, L-proline, L-serine and L-alanine from their mixture. The limit of detection was 3.5 pmol for L-alanine using single-ion-monitoring (SIM). Relative standard deviation (RSD) was 5.78% for 17.5 nmol of L-alanine (n = 5). With the advantages of small size, simple configuration and ease operation at ambient conditions, the dielectric barrier discharge ion source would potentially be coupled to portable mass spectrometers.     

Corona Discharge Ionization Source for a Planar High-Field Asymmetric Waveform Ion Mobility Spectrometer

A corona discharge (CD) ionization source was prepared for a planar high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer (FAIMS). The effects of discharge current and discharge distance on ionization efficiency were investigated; and the electric field dependence of the ion injection in the reaction region was studied. The results showed that the discharge current of CD source had good linearity with the intensity of reactant ion peak (RIP), and the RIP intensity increased to a stable level at the discharge distance of >5 mm. An injection electrode was introduced to improve the ionization efficiency. A square-wave voltage applied to the electrode was found to provide optimal performance of ion injection and utilization. The operating parameters of the CD-FAIMS were optimized to achieve trace level detection of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) sample. The detection limit for DMMP was 0.5 µg/m^3.
