IPC: H01J49/16
Filed: 2017-04-11
Abstract: In an ion source, a sprayer (e.g. nebulizer 4) sprays a liquid sample into a spray region. In a first ionization mode, voltage supply 12 supplies a potential difference in the spray region to produce analyte ions by electrospray ionization. In a second ionization mode, the sprayer sprays the sample onto an impact surface (e.g. interface cone 10) to ionize analyte by impact ionization. In an aspect, the ion source is switched between the two modes during a single experimental run. In an aspect, a translator mechanism translates the sprayer between different spraying angles or locations for the two modes, and/or a spray guide directs the spray along different pathways for the two modes. The potential of the impact surface may be switched between opposite polarities for the two modes. The impact surface may interface the spray region to vacuum region 16 of mass and/or ion mobility analyser 34.
