Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02068949A2] The present invention provides a multiple part capillary for use in mass analysis instruments. Specifically, a multiple part capillary comprising at least two capillary sections joined with airtight seal by a union for use in mass spectrometry (particularly with ionization sources) to transport ions between pressure regions of a mass spectrometer for analysis is described herein. Preferably, the capillary is useful to transport ions from an elevated pressure ionization source to a first vacuum region of a mass analysis system.

[origin: WO02068949A2] The present invention provides a multiple part capillary (35) for use in mass analysis instruments. Specifically, a multiple part capillary comprising at least two capillary sections (28, 33) joined with airtight seal by a union (29) for use in mass spectrometry (particularly with ionization sources) to transport ions between pressure regions of a mass spectrometer for analysis is described herein. Preferably, the capillary is useful to transport ions from an elevated pressure ionization source to a first vacuum region of a mass analysis system.
