As also shown, the system 100 includes a voltage DC power supply 120 for the ESI device 20 and a direct current (DC) power supply 125 for the inlet device 15 alone (
The ion detector 40 can be configured to register the number of ions emitted at different time intervals that correspond to particular ion masses to perform mass spectrometric chemical analysis. The ion trap dynamically traps ions from a measurement sample using a dynamic electric field generated by an RF drive signal. The ions are selectively ejected corresponding to their mass-to-charge ratio (mass (m)/charge (z)) by changing the characteristics (e.g., amplitude, frequency, etc.) of the trapping radio frequency (RF) electric field. Relative ion abundances at particular m/z ratios can be digitized for analysis and can be displayed as spectra on an onboard and/or remote processor.
