An inductively coupled plasma-time-of-flight mass spectrometer for elemental analysis. Part II: Direct current quadrupole lens system for improved performance

An electrostatic quadrupole lens has been substituted for a cylindrical lens system used in the original inductively coupled plasma-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ICP-TOFMS). With an improved vacuum system also installed, the cylindrical and quadrupole lenses are compared to each other and to the performance of the prototype ICP-TOFMS. The quadrupole lens requires no tradeoff between ion throughput and resolving power as was encountered with cylindrical lenses. The background noise in both ion-optical systems is within the same order of magnitude. Images of the ion beam formed by each ion-optical system have been obtained on a microchannel plate-phosphor screen. The quadrupole lens shows a higher ion-beam flux and produces a slitlike focus required in the orthogonal ICP-TOFMS instrument. Signal-to-noise ratios in the ICP-TOFMS can be improved by using a technique called pulsed-ion injection that is particularly convenient with the quadrupole lens. In this technique, one quadrupole electrode is pulsed to prevent ions from entering the extraction zone except when an ion packet is to be extracted for mass analysis. This technique significantly reduces the noise over continuous ion injection. In the orthogonal ICP-TOFMS with pulsed-ion injection, 0.5 frnol of analyte could be detected in 1.4 ms with a proper data acquisition system. Overall, the combination of a quadrupole lens and pulsed-ion injection may provide detection limits for the ICP-TOFMS that are competitive with those of quadrupole inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry instruments
