A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a rotatable isolation valvehaving a curved, spherical, cylindrical or concave portion. At least a portion of an ion guideis positioned so as to extend within a swept volume of the isolation valveenabling the ion guideto be positioned close to a second downstream ion guideand for ions to be transmitted from the firstion guide to the second ion guidewith high ion transmission efficiency.

Device for rapid exchange of ion sources and ion transmission devices

A nozzle for an ionisation source comprises: a light passage having an inlet end and an outlet end; and a gas flow passage in fluid communication with the light passage, wherein the gas flow passage is configured to convey, in use, a flow of gas into the light passage such that the flow of gas travels substantially towards the outlet end of the light passage.

Scientific instrument

A mass spectrometer includes a control system arranged to assess an operational state of the mass spectrometer. When a fault is detected, the control system assigns the fault to one of a plurality of categories, including a first category of faults which may be attempted to be rectified automatically by the mass spectrometer, a second category of faults which may be attempted to be rectified by the user, and a third category of faults which may only be attempted to be rectified by a service engineer. When a fault is assigned to the first category of faults, the control system initiates an attempt to automatically rectify the fault. When a fault is assigned to the second category of faults, the control system causes information relating to the fault to be displayed to the user, including data indicative of the fault and data one or more steps to be taken by the user to attempt to rectify the fault (). When a fault is assigned to the third category of faults, the control system causes information relating to the fault to be displayed to the user including data indicative of the fault, and an indication that the user should call a service engineer.

A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a rotatable isolation valve () having a curved, spherical, cylindrical or concave portion. At least a portion of an ion guide () is positioned so as to extend within a swept volume of the isolation valve () enabling the ion guide () to be positioned close to a second downstream ion guide () and for ions to be transmitted from the first () ion guide to the second ion guide () with high ion transmission efficiency.

Mass spectrometer

An atmospheric pressure ion source probe assembly () includes an outer casing assembly () adapted for attachment to an atmospheric pressure ion source chamber of a mass spectrometer and a docking probe () for detachable connection to the outer casing. The arrangement is such that in its docked condition or position the probe extends through, and in sealing engagement with the outer casing. In this docked condition or position, a sample holder () carried by the docking probe () is presented within the ion chamber. When the docking probe is detached from the outer casing the casing can be sealed off relative to the ion source chamber.
