SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING SAMPLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240047188 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING SAMPLES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for analyzing samples using a mass spectrometer. The system includes a source that emits ions, multiple chambers with different pressures, a detector to detect the ions, and a particle guide. The chambers have decreasing pressures, with the first chamber having the lowest pressure. The particle guide is a conduit that allows the ions to travel through its entire length. The conduit is located within the chambers, and vents are placed to create passages between the chambers and the conduit.

  • The system includes a mass spectrometer with a unique configuration of chambers and a particle guide.
  • The chambers have different pressures, with the first chamber having the lowest pressure.
  • The particle guide is a conduit that allows ions to travel through its entire length.
  • Vents are placed to create passages between the chambers and the conduit.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Analyzing samples in various fields such as chemistry, biology, and forensics.
  • Identifying and quantifying different compounds within a sample.
  • Studying the structure and properties of molecules.
  • Detecting and analyzing trace amounts of substances.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for efficient and accurate analysis of samples using a mass spectrometer.
  • Provides a controlled environment with different pressures to optimize ion detection.
  • Ensures the ions travel through the entire length of the particle guide for accurate analysis.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved sensitivity and accuracy in sample analysis.
  • Enhanced efficiency and speed in analyzing samples.
  • Versatility in analyzing a wide range of samples and compounds.
  • Potential for new discoveries and advancements in various scientific fields.
