    摘要: A high duty cycle ion mobility analysis apparatus includes an ion source, first and second ion storage zones, and an ion mobility analyzer. The ion mobility analyzer includes first and second channels containing a gas flow paralleled to an ion migration direction and a direct current electric field in the opposite direction of the gas flow, and the direct current electric fields in the channels are different in strength. In a continuous scanning period, ions that have not reached appropriate scanning conditions or have missed the appropriate scanning conditions and thus are unable to pass through the mobility analyzer are temporarily stored in two independent ion storage zones without being lost to be analyzed by the mobility analyzer until conditions of the scanning period or a next scanning period are appropriate.

    摘要: The invention provides signal processing method and system and an electronic apparatus for analysis of time-of-flight mass spectra. The method includes digitalizing an analog signal output from an ion detector to acquire complete raw time-of-flight spectra or each effective part in the raw time-of-flight spectra for a plurality of times; if the complete raw time-of-flight spectra are acquired, extracting the effective parts of each raw time-of-flight spectrum; applying a one-dimensional wavelet transform to each effective part to map to each frequency band or scale; determining positions and intensities of each spectral peak in each raw time-of-flight spectrum by detecting the maxima of an obtained wavelet coefficient distribution, and saving said peak position and intensity as characteristic data of each spectral peak; accumulating the characteristic data obtained by processing each raw time-of-flight spectrum and stacking the data to form spectral peak intensity/time-of-flight histogram.

    摘要: The technical solution of the present disclosure provides an ion source apparatus and a mass spectrometer. According to the ion source apparatus, the axial ion guide assembly includes the plurality of multipole segments extending axially, the transmission path of axial ions is straight, and the ion transmission efficiency is substantially unaffected when the axial ion source is used alone. Further, since the ion outlet of the lateral ion guide assembly faces a gap between two adjacent segmented multipoles, the lateral ion guide assembly does not affect axial field, thereby integrating the multiple ion sources while ensuring the ion transmission efficiency and ion constraining of the axial ion source.
