    Abstract: An aerosol particle analyzer includes a laser ablation chamber, a gas-filled conduit, and a mass spectrometer. The laser ablation chamber can be operated at a low pressure, which can be from 0.1 mTorr to 30 mTorr. The ablated ions are transferred into a gas-filled conduit. The gas-filled conduit reduces the electrical charge and the speed of ablated ions as they collide and mix with buffer gases in the gas-filled conduit. Preferably, the gas filled-conduit includes an electromagnetic multipole structure that collimates the nascent ions into a beam, which is guided into the mass spectrometer. Because the gas-filled conduit allows storage of vast quantities of the ions from the ablated particles, the ions from a single ablated particle can be analyzed multiple times and by a variety of techniques to supply statistically meaningful analysis of composition and isotope ratios.

    Abstract: The current invention involves a method and a device for generating and analyzing ions in order to analyze samples directly without sample preparation. The gaseous neutral molecules are desorbed under atmospheric pressure by a desorption method. The desorbed neutral molecules are then transferred into a low pressure region where they are post-ionized by a mist from an electrospray probe tip or by photons from a vacuum UV source. The generated ions are then focused in a time varying electric field in the low pressure chamber before they are transferred into a mass spectrometer or ion mobility spectrometer for further analysis.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a test method, especially for mass spectroscopy of biomolecules, including the following steps: one or several samples (2-4) that are to be analyzed are introduced into a carrier liquid of a micro liquid jet (1) in rapid succession; at least some of the samples (2-4) are desorbed from the micro liquid jet (1); and the sample (2-4) that is desorbed from the micro liquid jet (1) is analyzed. According to the invention, the sample (2-4) is spatially delimited in the spraying direction in the micro liquid jet (1) while extending only along a subarea of the micro liquid jet (1) in the spraying direction.

    Abstract: A system employing multiple, upper excitation levels in a technique for isotopically selective ionization to improve the ionization efficiency. In a technique which employs laser radiation to excite particles with isotopic selectivity, excitation is produced to a plurality of excited states below the ionization level with the result of increasing the number of available excited particles for ionization and thereby increasing the ionization cross-section for improved system efficiency.
