Factors influencing the analytical performance of an atmospheric sampling glow discharge ionization source as revealed via ionization dynamics modeling

Abstract: A kinetic model is developed for the dynamic events occurring within an atmospheric sampling glow discharge that affect its performance as an ion source for analytical mass spectrometry. The differential equations incorporate secondary electron generation and thermalization, reagent and analyte ion formation via electron capture and ion-molecule reactions, ion loss via recombination processes, diffusion, and ion-molecule reactions with matrix components, and the sampling and pumping parameters of the source.

“…53,56 Predicted and measured ion abundances were comparable until reaction times >100 μs after which divergence occurred and was attributed to recombination reactions. Other models for glow discharge sources in mass spectrometry 57 and for proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry 44 are noteworthy yet limited for use in models here by differences in ionization chemistry.…”

“…Recently, response of an ion mobility spectrometer to DMMP was compared to models derived from the work of Siegel and included the formation of proton bound dimer with reaction times of 10–100 μs. , Predicted and measured ion abundances were comparable until reaction times >100 μs after which divergence occurred and was attributed to recombination reactions. Other models for glow discharge sources in mass spectrometry and for proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry are noteworthy yet limited for use in models here by differences in ionization chemistry.…”

“…Modeling of the ionization dynamics in atmospheric sampling GDMS identified the key experimental factors for optimization of the analytical performance. 35 The simulations accounted for the generation and thermalization of secondary electrons, the formation of reagent and analyte ions by electron capture (EC) and ion-molecule reactions, the removal of ions by recombination, diffusion and ion-molecule reactions and the sampling and pumping parameters of the source. Although thermal electrons and positive reagent ions reached similar number densities, the high rate of EC relative to ion-molecule reactions caused the formation of analyte anions by EC to dominate the generation of positive analyte ions by ion-molecule reaction.…”

“…The detectors were cross-calibrated daily by measuring the 96 Zr 1 isotope. The RSF of 35 Cl was determined on a zirconium standard disc with a Cl concentration of 155 ¡ 5 mg g 21 and checked by analyzing samples by both GDMS and pyrohydrolysis-ion chromatography (IC). Surface Cl contamination was believed to be responsible for the long stabilization time of y50 min.…”
