PROTON TRANSFER REACTION MASS SPECTROMETER

摘要

A mass spectrometer includes an ion source configured to generate reagent ions; a drift tube configured to cause sample molecules to react with the reagent ions to generate sample ions, the drift tube comprising two sets of electrodes which are identical in structure and symmetrically distributed in a direction perpendicular to a direction of ion drift, each set of electrodes comprising a plurality of curved cell electrodes which are distributed in a same plane and arranged in the direction of ion drift so that the sample ions are generated and drifted within a region between the two sets of electrodes and focused in the direction perpendicular to the direction of ion drift; a power supply device configured to apply, to each of the cell electrodes, a DC voltage changing in the direction of ion drift; and, a mass analyzer configured to perform mass analysis for the sample ions.
