  • Monitoring ion mobility spectrometry environment for improved collision cross section accuracy and precision
    Patent number: 10943776
    Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion mobility separator 4 for separating ions according to their ion mobility, one or more first devices or stages arranged upstream of the ion mobility separator and a control system. The control system is arranged and adapted to monitor directly or indirectly the operating environment within the ion mobility separator 4, and to control the operating environment within the ion mobility separator 4 based on the monitoring by controlling one or more gas flows to or within one or more of the one or more first devices or stages.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2021
    Assignee: MICROMASS UK LIMITED
