Benefits of
Delayed
Extraction
Delayed Extraction of ions overcomes many of the adverse
effects of Continuous Extraction:
Benefits of
Delayed Extraction
Adverse Effects of
Continuous Extraction
Velocity focusing of ions is controlled
by variable-voltage grid in the ion
source and the delay time applied to
acceleration. See “Velocity focusing”
on page 1-15.
Resolution and mass accuracy are
improved.
Initial velocity distribution of ions.
Minimal energy loss from collision of
ions. Ion acceleration is delayed, the
ion/neutral plume becomes less dense,
and ion collision is minimized.
Substantial energy loss from collision of
ions. Ions are accelerated immediately
after sample is ionized and collide in the
dense ion/neutral plume.
Fragmentation is greatly reduced by
acceleration delay.
Background noise is reduced, and the
effect of laser intensity on performance is
minimized.
Background noise from fragmentation in
the source (prompt fragmentation) related
to ion collision.
Less analyte/matrix-dependent
performance because initial velocity
distribution and energy loss is
corrected or minimized.
Analyte/matrix-dependent performance,
because initial velocity distribution and
energy loss conditions are specifically
related to the sample and matrix used.
