Devices and systems including a boost device

摘要

A device for mass spectroscopy comprising a chamber configured to provide an atomization source, a boost device configured to provide radio frequency energy to the chamber, and a mass analyzer in fluid communication with the chamber and configured to separate species based on mass-to-charge ratios is disclosed. In certain examples, a boost device may be used with a flame or plasma to provide additional energy to a flame or plasma to enhance desolvation, atomization, and/or ionization.

主权项

1. A device for mass spectroscopy comprising:
a chamber configured to provide an atomization source; an energy delivery mechanism configured to provide radio frequency energy into a first area of the chamber to sustain the atomization source in the chamber; a boost device configured to provide additional radio frequency energy into a second area of the chamber different from the first area of the chamber; and a mass analyzer in fluid communication with the chamber and configured to separate species based on mass-to-charge ratios.
