  • Patent number: 10636645
    Abstract: A mass analyzer includes two chambers for ionizing gas to form ions and/or introducing reaction gases to aid in ionization. A first chamber includes an electron to allow electron bombardment of a first gas. A second chamber receives a second gas and ions from the first chamber to allow interaction between the second gas, and the ions from the first chamber. The first and/or second gas may include analyte.
