Abstract

The invention provides a mass spectrum ion source and a mass spectrometer. The mass spectrum ion source includes a sampling device, a spray needle and a capillary pipe. The sampling device includes a T-junction, and a liquid sample inlet pipe, a liquid sample outlet pipe and a waste-liquid pipe, which are connected to the T-junction, and a constant-pressure valve installed at the waste-liquid pipe. The spray needle enables a liquid sample to become charged ions through an electrospray process. The capillary pipe guides the charged ions to a mass analyzer. When the quantity of the liquid sample which enters the T-junction via the liquid sample inlet pipe is overly large, the constant-pressure valve is started so that redundant liquid sample flows out from the waste-liquid pipe and thus the pressure and flow of the liquid sample outlet pipe are maintained at set values. In the mass spectrum ion source and mass spectrometer, the flow rate of only a specific quantity of liquid sample which enters the spray needle via the liquid sample outlet pipe is constant without changing with the flow rate of the injected sample. Therefore, the spray needle is kept at an optimal flow rate, an atomization effect is great and charged ions which are smaller in size can be formed without using an atomized gas or a blowback gas and thus the use cost of the mass spectrum ion source is low.
