An ion funnel interface for improved ion focusing and sensitivity using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Shaffer, S., a., Prior, D., C., Anderson, G., a., Udseth, H., R., & Smith, R., D. Analytical chemistry, 70(19):4111-9, 10, 1998. Paper Website abstract bibtex To improve upon the already impressive sensitivity achievable with electrospray ionization sources, a novel electrohydrodynamic ion funnel interface has been developed and implemented with a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer. The ion funnel interface effectively consists of a series of ring electrodes of increasingly small internal diameters to which rf and dc electric potentials are coapplied. In the 1-10-Torr pressure range, the electric fields cause the collisionally damped ions to be more effectively focused and transmitted as a collimated ion beam. This paper describes the ion funnel design and presents an evaluation of its performance using a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer. Ion transmission and m/z discriminating parameters (resulting in both effective low- and high-m/z cutoffs) are presented based upon both ion current measurements and mass spectra. Electrospray ionization mass spectra of selected protein solutions demonstrated well over 1 order of magnitude increase in signal relative to that of the instrument operated in its standard (inlet capillary-skimmer) configuration under similar conditions. The present results suggest that it will be feasible to realize close to 100% ion transmission efficiency for analytically relevant ions through the electrospray ionization interface and into the mass analyzer.
