An ion‐storage time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer for analysis of electrospray ions

Abstract: A preliminary design and implementation of a novel approach to electrospray-mass spectrometry are described. Based on a time-of-flight mass analysis, the instrument provides several important advantages for on-line mass analysis: 1, simplicity, ease of use and low manufacturing cost; 2, rapid scan speed, yielding quasi-instantaneous full mass scans at repetition rates up to several kHz; 3, soft ionization and accurate mass determination of extremely large analyte molecules; 4, high sensitivity.

“…It relies on ionically charged microdroplets that force the (oppositely charged) protein of interest onto the droplet. Coulombic forces then induce instability on the droplet surface, breaking the original droplet into smaller pieces that contain only the anylate protein of interest (5). …”

“…capillary columns. These capabilities demonstrate that electrospray LC/MS will play a rapidly increasing role in monitoring our environment Future techniques in LC/MS will address improvements in sensitivity, specificity, analysis time and instrument cost In particular, time-of-flight MS (TOF-MS) (40)(41)(42)(43)(44) and ion trap MS (ITMS) (45)(46)(47)(48)(49) show particular promise, especially when coupled to the rapid and high resolution separation technique of capillary electrophoresis (CE) (50,51). Both TOF and ITMS offer the ability to sample a higher percentage of the ions generated (higher duty cycle), therefore improving signal levels.…”

“…In an attempt to overcome this limited duty cycle, researchers have developed several methods, including ion storage between batch analyses and fill-time matching in TOFMS [63][64][65][66][67][68]. Importantly, DOFMS provides a unique platform to improve the duty cycle and throughput for velocity-based mass spectrometry.…”
