  • Mass spectrometry systems with convective flow of buffer gas for enhanced signals and related methods
    Patent number: 10068759
    Abstract: Mass spectrometry systems include an ionizer, mass analyzer and the detector, with a high pressure chamber holding the mass analyzer and a separate chamber holding the detector to allow for differential background pressures where P2<P1 which generates gas flow through an unsealed, sealed or partially sealed ion trap and enhances detected signal relative to when P2=P1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2018
    Assignee: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    Inventors: John Michael Ramsey, Kevin Philip Schultze, Bruno Jean-Bernard Coupier
