Abstract
There is provided a sampling interface for use with a mass spectrometry apparatus. The sampling interface is arranged so as to enable the sampling of ions in a mass spectrometer. In one aspect, the sampling interface comprises an inlet for receiving a quantity of ions from an ion source, and a region downstream of the inlet for accommodating a gas through which the ions may pass, wherein a field having a selected bias voltage potential is provided in at least a portion of the downstream region through which the ions may pass.
