  • Mass Spectrometry: Quadrupole Mass Filter
    Advanced Lab, Jan. 2008 Mass Spectrometry: Quadrupole Mass Filter The mass spectrometer is essentially an instrument which can be used to measure the mass, or more correctly the mass/charge ratio, of ionized atoms or other electrically charged particles. Mass spectrometers are now used in physics, geology, chemistry, biology and medicine to determine compositions, to measure isotopic ratios, for detecting leaks in vacuum systems, and in homeland security. Mass Spectrometer Designs The first mass spectrographs were invented almost 100 years ago, by A.J. Dempster, F.W. Aston and others, and have therefore been in continuous development over a very long period. However the principle of using electric and magnetic fields to accelerate and establish the trajectories of ions inside the spectrometer according to their mass/charge ratio is common to all the different designs. The following description of Dempster’s original mass spectrograph is a simple illustration of these physical principles: The magnetic sector spectrograph PUMP F DD S S3 1 r S2 Fig. 1: Dempster’s Mass Spectrograph (1918). Atoms/molecules are first ionized by electrons emitted from the hot filament (F) and then accelerated towards the entrance slit (S1). The ions then follow a semicircular trajectory established by the Lorentz force in a uniform magnetic field. The radius of the trajectory, r, is defined by three slits (S1, S2, and S3). Ions with this selected trajectory are then detected by the detector D. How the magnetic sector mass spectrograph works: Equating the Lorentz force with the centripetal force gives: qvB = mv2/r (1) where q is the charge on the ion (usually +e), B the magnetic field, m is the mass of the ion and r the radius of the ion trajectory.

As Accepted: July 8, 2016 instrumentation has advanced, and with the coupling of liquid chromatography (LC) for high- throughput LC-MS/MS, a proteomics experiment measuring hundreds to thousands of pro- teins/protein groups is now commonplace. While expert practitioners who best understand the operation of LC-MS systems tend to have strong backgrounds in physics and engineering, consumers of proteomics data and technology are not exposed to the physio-chemical principles underlying the information they seek. Since articles and reviews tend not to focus on bridging this divide, our goal here is to span this gap and translate MS ion physics into language intuitive to the general reader active in basic or applied biomedical research. Here, we visually describe what happens to ions as they enter and move around inside a mass spectrometer. We describe basic MS principles, including electric current, ion optics, ion traps, quadrupole mass filters, and Orbitrap FT-analyzers.

An 8-electrode and a 12-electrode linear trap geometries have been designed and tested with an aim to achieve trapping for larger number of particles and to study microparticle dynamical stability in electrodynamic fields. We report emergence of planar and volume ordered structures of microparticles, depending on the a.c. trap- ping frequency and particle specific charge ratio. The electric potential within the trap is mapped using the electrolytic tank method. Particle dynamics is simulated using a stochastic Langevin equation. We emphasize extended regions of stable trap- ping with respect to quadrupole traps, as well as good agreement between experiment and numerical simulations.

  • CHAPTER 5 Mass Spectrometry, Cont'd Part 2
    CHAPTER 5 Mass Spectrometry, Cont’d Part 2 5.2.6.3 Quadrupole ion trap mass filter: While the operation of the ion trap was characterized shortly after the linear quadrupole in 1960 by Paul and Steinwedel, its application in the chemical laboratory was severely limited. This was due to difficulties associated with manufacturing a circular electrode and performance problems. These performance problems were overcome when a group at Finnigan MAT lead by Stafford discovered two breakthroughs that lead to the production of a commercially available ion trap mass filter. The first ion trap developed used a mode of operation where a single mass could be stored in the trap when previously all of the ions had to be stored. Their next important discovery was the ability for 1 mtorr of helium gas to improve the instruments resolution. The helium molecules’ collisions with the ions reduced their kinetic energy and subsequently focused them towards the center of the trap. After these initial hurdles were cleared, many new techniques were developed for a diverse set of applications especially in biochemistry. This is a result of its comparative advantage over the quadrupole when analyzing high molecular mass compounds (up to several thousand m/z units) to unit resolution in commonly encountered instruments. The ion trap is also an extremely sensitive instrument that allows a molecular weight to be determined with a small number of molecules. The ion trap is also the only mass filter that can contain ions that need to be analyzed for any significant duration of time. This allows the instrument to be particularly useful in monitoring the kinetics of a given reaction.

  • Constructing a Paul Trap for Undergraduate Laboratories
    Constructing a Paul Trap for Undergraduate Laboratories Steven Ban, Matthew Bledsoe, Peter Chang, Garrett Wen May 4, 2016 Abstract For our project, we wanted to build an oscillating system to trap charged particles. We decided to build a Paul trap, which is a form of ion trap that uses alternating electric fields to confine charged particles in the center of the device. We were able to accomplish this using spherical brass electrodes, thick copper wires, a wire ring, and a step up transformer to give us the high voltage we needed from the wall. Our Paul trap worked very well, trapping charged plaster dust, which we illuminated with a bright green laser so that we could easily see the particles in the trap. In this paper, we will primarily focus on how to recreate our experiment, and on our results. 1 Introduction The quadrupole ion trap, or the Paul trap in honor of its inventor Wolfgang Paul who for which claimed the 1989 Nobel Prize, is a device that can confine charged particles using interactions between electric fields. Due to Earnshaw's theorem, we know that charged particles cannot be trapped stably by static electric fields alone. There are several different methods for trapping charged particles, and the Paul trap accomplishes this using AC voltage to generate alternating electric fields on a pair of hyperbolic electrodes (in our case, two brass spheres), suspended on either side of a ring electrode (a simple wire ring in our setup). This setup, when the hyperbolic electrodes are connected such that the hyperbolic electrodes are always at the same potential, and with opposite polarity of the ring electrode, generates an electric field that is zero at the center of the ring and everywhere else provides a time- averaged restoring force back towards the center of the ring.

It is analogous to that generated using a diode array UV-detector on an HPLC system. The data is fundamentally 3-dimensional. A “selected ion chromatogram” is the same graph of intensity over time for a defined m/z. It is analogous to a UV chromatogram for a single wavelength. Looking at MS Data: Mass spectra show m/z, not mass Mass spectrometers separate molecules on the basis of their mass to charge ratio, not their mass. That means the x-axis is not necessarily reflective of M. Mass spectra are normalized to the abundance (intensity) of the highest peak in a given spectrum. The y-axis is always scaled from 0-100.

Newton's second law: F = ma the force causes an acceleration that is MASS dependent 2. Lorentz force
