Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the measurement of a sample dissolved in a solvent using the SIMS method by spraying the sample, jetting it from a narrow hole, forming it into a molecular-line type sample, introducing it into a high vacuum chamber that is set to the degree of specific vacuum through the narrow hole section such as a skimmer that is exhausted differentially, and making it collide against a metal plate. CONSTITUTION:A sample solution dissolved in a solvent that is sequentially separated by a liquid chromatograph device 1 is jetted as a molecular-line type sample 3 through an atomizer 2 with a nozzle of 10mum in diameter, for example. The sample solution is sprayed to this atomizer 2 from the nozzle using an ultrasonic vibrator. The molecular-line type sample 3 starting from the atomizer 2 is introduced into an ionized chamber 5 that is kept in high vacuum of 10-5 to 10-6 Torr through a single or a number of heated skimmers 4 and collides against a metal target 6 made of silver plate and such provided in the ionized chamber. The sample adhesion surface section of the target 6 is irradiated with a primary ion beam 7 with an inclination of 20 degrees against the surface of the target 6.

In recent years, life science has made remarkable progress, and in this field, separation and analysis of nonvolatile, thermally unstable substances related to living organisms is essential as a basic technology. Although liquid chromatography (LC) is widely used as a separation device for such substances, it does not satisfy needs in terms of detection sensitivity and identification ability. Therefore, the coupling of mass spectrometers (MS), which have high sensitivity and excellent identification ability, with LC has been studied in various parts of the world for the past ten years. The reality is that it has not yet been successful due to various technical issues.

There is a possibility that the applied sample may contaminate the slit and mix with other components that came later, and it is difficult to remove the sample from the silver belt after mass spectrometry, so there are problems with history.

Spray it as a molecular beam sample 6 through an atomizer 2 having a nozzle of m. This atomizer may be one that uses an ultrasonic vibrator to spray the sample solution from a nozzle, or one that sprays the sample solution under pressure from a nozzle. The molecular linear form f=43 emitted from the atomizer 2 passes through one or more heated skimmers 4, and passes through one or more heated skimmers 4 to
A metal target l- provided in the ionization chamber 5 is guided into the ionization chamber 5 maintained at a high vacuum on the order of 0'To+-r.
(for example, made of steel plate) collides with B. The skimmer (two in the figure) installed between the atomizer 2 and the ionization chamber 5 is pumped with an oil rotary pump with a pumping speed of 25T/sec and a pumping speed of 100L.

Most of the sample introduced into the ionization chamber 5 and collided with the metal target B in the form of a molecular wire sample filter adheres to the surface of the target B. An impurity such as xenon gas having a current density of 10 A/cm2 or more is applied to the sample attachment surface of the target 6 from the side opposite to the molecular wire sample 6 at an angle of about 20° with respect to the surface of the target A. A primary ion beam 7 of active gas is irradiated. 8 is the source of this ion beam 7. Here, the reason why the irradiation angle of the -order ion beam 7 to the target 6 is set to about 20 degrees is to efficiently extract the organic matter that is the sample as the secondary ion flow 9. Note that a high-speed neutral particle beam may be used instead of the ion beam.

When the primary ion beam 7 is implanted at high speed into the solid that constitutes the target 6, the incident ions impart part of their kinetic energy to the atoms that constitute the solid. Atoms that have gained kinetic energy collide one after another, and eventually this cascade of collisions reaches the surface and ejects atoms near the surface to the outside. Since silver has a good sputtering efficiency, it is suitable as a material for the sample attachment target B.

The organic sample is separated from the surface of the target 60, ionized, and taken out as a secondary ion stream 9. This secondary ion flow 9 is guided to a mass spectrometer connected to the ionization chamber 5 and analyzed, although not shown.
