Abstract:
A first mass spectrometer includes a first introduction device configured to select between a reference material and a first portion of an analyte and introduce the selected one of the reference material or the first portion of the analyte to an ion source, the first mass spectrometer being configured to provide third molecular analyte ions to a detector at a first mass resolution of about 30,000 or greater. A system includes the first mass spectrometer and a second mass spectrometer. A method for determining the isotopic composition of an analyte in a sample includes converting a first portion of the analyte to first molecular analyte ions, filtering out second molecular analyte ions, filtering out third molecular analyte ions, detecting two or more of the third molecular analyte ions at a mass resolution of about 30,000 or greater to determine the isotopic composition of at least a portion of the analyte.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein the first mass spectrometer comprises:\n a first ion travel path; a first introduction device configured to select between a reference material and a first portion of an analyte and introduce the selected one of the reference material or the first portion of the analyte to a first ion source, the first ion source having a first entrance slit, the first entrance slit having a first width, the first ion source configured to convert the reference material or the first portion of the analyte to first molecular analyte ions and to guide the first molecular analyte ions along the first ion travel path, each of the first molecular analyte ions having a momentum; a first momentum filter positioned downstream from the first ion source and configured to receive the first molecular analyte ions, the first momentum filter having a first radius of curvature along the first ion travel path, the first momentum filter configured to filter out second molecular analyte ions from the first molecular analyte ions according to their momenta, each of the second molecular analyte ions having an energy level; a first energy filter positioned downstream from the first momentum filter and configured to receive the second molecular analyte ions, the first energy filter having a second radius of curvature along the first ion travel path, the first energy filter configured to filter out third molecular analyte ions from the second molecular analyte ions according to their energy levels; and a detector positioned downstream of the first energy filter and configured to receive the third molecular analyte ions, wherein the width of the first entrance slit and the first and second radii of curvature are selected to provide a first mass resolution at the detector of about 30,000 or greater.
