Title:
SPRAY GLOW DISCHARGE IONIZATION METHOD AND SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/036584
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A spray glow discharge ionization method and system which can be used together or alternately with a main ionization method of mass spectrometry, i.e. an atmospheric chemical ionization (APCI) method or an electron spray ionization (ESI) method, while enhancing ionization efficiency using a gas exhibiting Penning effect. The spray glow discharge ionization system comprises a port (A) for supplying a fluid containing a compound to be measured, a port (B) surrounding the supply port (A) and blowing a gas exhibiting Penning effect and spraying the fluid being supplied from the supply port (A), a ground-side discharge electrode (E) provided at a port (C) generating the spray flow, and a voltage applying-side discharge electrode (F) disposed oppositely to the ground-side discharge electrode (E) in the advancing direction of the spray flow, wherein the fluid is ionized by an atomized gas (l) exhibiting Penning effect excited by the compound to be measured while being sprayed by the atomized gas (l) exhibiting Penning effect and then the fluid is subjected to mass spectrometry.
