A new multiturn tandem time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer "MULTUM-TOF/TOF" has been designed and constructed. It consists of a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization ion source, a multiturn TOF mass spectrometer, a collision cell, and a quadratic-field ion mirror. The multiturn TOF mass spectrometer can overcome the problem of precursor ion selection in TOF, due to insufficient time separation between two adjacent TOF peaks, by increasing the number of cycles. As a result, the total TOF increases with the increase in resolving power. The quadratic-field ion mirror allows temporal focusing for fragment ions with different kinetic energies. Product ion spectra from monoisotopically selected precursor ions of angiotensin I, substance P, and bradykinin have been obtained. The fragment ions observed are mainly the result of high-energy collision induced dissociation.
一种新型的多圈串联飞行时间(TOF)质谱仪“MULTUM - TOF/TOF”已设计并制造完成。它由基质辅助激光解吸/电离离子源、多圈TOF质谱仪、碰撞池和二次场离子镜组成。多圈TOF质谱仪可以通过增加循环次数来克服TOF中由于两个相邻TOF峰之间时间分离不足而导致的前体离子选择问题。结果,总飞行时间随着分辨率的提高而增加。二次场离子镜允许对具有不同动能的碎片离子进行时间聚焦。已获得了来自血管紧张素I、P物质和缓激肽的单同位素选择前体离子的产物离子光谱。观察到的碎片离子主要是高能碰撞诱导解离的结果。
