  • Mass spectrometer sampling cone with coating
    Patent number: 8785843
    Abstract: A sampling cone of a mass spectrometer is disclosed having a metallic boride coating such as titanium diboride.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2014
    Assignee: Micromass UK Limited

  • Ion source with surface coating
    Patent number: 8742337
    Abstract: A mass spectrometer includes an Electron Impact (“EI”) or a Chemical Ionization (“CI”) ion source, and the ion source includes a first coating or surface. The first coating or surface is formed of a metallic carbide, a metallic boride, a ceramic or DLC, or an ion-implanted transition metal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 3, 2014
    Assignee: Micromass UK Limited

  • Mass spectrometer and method of mass spectrometry
    Patent number: 8598512
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of derivina improved data from a mass spectrometer. The method includes operating the mass spectrometer in a mode enabling quantitation; assigning a threshold value for the total ion current (TIC) above which at least MS and/or MSMS data is desired; and triggering the mass spectrometer out of the mode enabling quantitation into at least an MS and/or MSMS mode when said TIC rises above the threshold but triggering only at such time at or after a confirmed TIC maxima has been reached.
    Type: Grant
