  • Publication number: 20150144777
    Abstract: A multiple solid phase microextraction (m-SPME) thermal desorption ionization device which desorbs an analyte and moves it into an entry of a mass spectrometer for mass spectrometry analysis is provided. The device has a charge producing unit, a heating unit and a sampling unit. The sampling unit provides a plurality of probes. The analyte is attached to the probes, and then the probes are inserted through a passage of the heating unit to instantly vaporize the analyte for ionization and analysis in conjunction with the charge producing unit and the mass spectrometer. Thus, the time needed for analyte analysis is shortened. A mass spectrometer system having the thermal desorption ionization device and an analytical method for mass spectrometry are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7667197
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mass analyzing apparatus, comprising a first metal electrode plate, a second metal electrode plate, an RF power supply, a reactant gas and a mass spectrometry. The second metal electrode plate is grounded. There is a gap between the first metal electrode plate and the second metal electrode plate. The RF power supply is electrically connected to the first metal electrode plate. Electric discharge is caused between the first metal electrode plate and the second metal electrode plate, so that the reactant gas becomes dissociation plasma. The dissociation plasma reacts with a gas analyte from a sample and then enters the mass spectrometry for a mass analysis. In addition, since the dissociation plasma is generated under low temperature and atmospheric pressure, the mass analyzing apparatus of the present invention is applicable for biological samples that need to be analyzed at a low temperature.
