  • Patent number: 11085925
    Abstract: Methods and systems for separating and/or quantifying compounds, using differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) are provided herein. In accordance with various aspects of the applicants' teachings, the methods and systems can provide for the quantification of one or more compounds, for example, using isomeric labels that can be less costly to produce relative to conventional tags that incorporate stable-isotope labels. The present teachings can quantify the relative amount of a compound based on the effect of using an easily charged functional group as well as a functional group positioned at a resonant or non-resonant position through a DMS. In some aspects, methods and systems in accordance with various aspects of the present teachings provide for the detection and/or quantification of the analytes labeled with isomeric tags that can be differentiated via a DMS upstream of a first stage mass analyzer and/or prior to fragmentation of the labeled analyte, for example.

  • Patent number: 11031225
    Abstract: Because most ion optics of mass spectrometry systems are subject to ion deposition and may exhibit significantly different behavior following substantial contamination (e.g., loss of sensitivity), fouled surfaces must be regularly cleaned to maintain sensitivity. While the surfaces of front-end components (e.g., curtain plates, orifice plates, Qjet, Q0, IQ0) may be relatively easy to clean, the fouling of components contained within the downstream high-vacuum chambers (e.g., Q1, IQ1) can incur substantial delays and expense as the high-vacuum chambers must be vented and substantially disassembled prior to cleaning. Methods and systems for controlling contamination of components of mass spectrometer systems are provided herein. By reducing the transmission of contaminating ions during non-data acquisition periods, the present teachings can increase throughput, improve robustness, and/or decrease the downtime typically required to vent/disassemble/clean the fouled components.

  • Publication number: 20200279727
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing samples using mass spectrometry are disclosed. The apparatus includes a reaction device configured to dissociate sample ions into fragments by reacting the sample ions with a charged species (e.g., electrons) such as through ECD, EID, or EIEIO. The kinetic energy of the charged species is such that the fragments may be detected and produce spectra that allow for the determination of isomeric species in the sample and the location of double bonds and/or the orientation of those double bonds within the sample molecules. The fragments may include radical fragments and non-radical fragments. Spectra resulting from analysis of the fragments may allow for the determination of the oxygen-radical fragments resulting from the dissociation of the sample molecules as confirmation of the presence of those radical fragments.

  • Publication number: 20180369831
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing fluids are described. In various aspects, a fluid processing system may include a magnetic assembly that includes a plurality of magnetic structures configured to generate a magnetic field gradient within a fluid container. The magnetic structures may be formed as a plurality of electromagnets configured to be individually actuated by a controller. Each of the electromagnets may generate a magnetic field within the fluid container. The electromagnets may be differentially actuated to create a magnetic field gradient within the fluid container to agitate, mix, or otherwise influence magnetic particles disposed within the fluid container. Activation of the electromagnets of an electromagnetic structure may generate a magnetic field gradient that influences magnetic particles in an x-y direction.
