Abstract: Pole electrodes (150) are disclosed for use in an ion reaction apparatus, e.g., an electron induced dissociation cell, to reduce fouling due to polymer build-up and increase the useful lifetime of such electrodes. To reduce fouling, the novel pole electrode designs include a X-shaped aperture (160) in lieu of the conventional central circular aperture. The pole electrodes are particularly useful in systems having a plurality of branched electrodes (152) defining a first axis for controlled passage of charged ions and a transverse axis for passage of an electron beam. The pole electrodes are adapted for disposition between an electron source and the branched electrodes to provide an aperture for passage of an electron beam while also impeding escape of ions and reaction products from the apparatus. The X-shaped aperture eliminates or reduces the portion of the pole electrode surface that is most prone to fouling by polymeric build-up.

Abstract: An ion guide includes electrodes elongated along an axis from an entrance end to an exit end and spaced around the axis to surround an interior. The electrodes have polygonal shapes with inside surfaces disposed at a radius from the axis and having an electrode width tangential to a circle inscribed by the electrodes. An aspect ratio of the electrode width to the radius varies along the axis. The electrodes are configured to generate a two-dimensional RF electrical field in the interior having a multipole composition comprising one or more lower-order multipole components and one or more higher-order multipole components and varying along the axis in accordance with the varying aspect ratio, and having an RF voltage amplitude that varies along the axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a preconcentrator for vapors and particles collected from air. The vapor preconcentrator is made from plural layer of coils. The coil is made of resistance alloy. The pitch size of the coil is made to precisely trap/filter out certain size of the particles during preconcentration. Multiple coils could be made with different pitch sizes to achieve multiple step filtrations. When the sample flow enters the preconcentrator chamber, it passes through the coils. The particles of different sizes are trapped on different layer of coils. The vapor sample can be trapped on any coils when interacted with the coil surface. They could be trapped without any affinitive coating as the preconcentrator is at relatively low temperature. Different coils or different sections of the coil can be coated with different material to trap chemicals of different classes. During the desorption process, the coils are flash heated with controlled temperature ramping speed to evaporate the trapped chemicals. Various configurations, constructions, and methods of operation are presented.
