Embodiment Construction
[0039] In a broad sense, this invention can be viewed as a method and means for conducting a three-step energy transfer process that may then be followed by an analytical procedure. Energy is applied to a first gas by means of a corona discharge, forming ions and other energetic species of that gas. The energetic species of the first gas then transfer energy to a second gas, which must have at least one component with an ionization potential, or ionization energy, less than that of the energetic species of the first gas so as to produce reactant ions of the second gas. Those reactant ions are caused to impact upon a surface, reacting with chemicals or other materials on the surface to produce analyte ions that are collected, detected and identified.
[0040] A significant advantage of this downhill energy flow is that it utilizes energy from an inexpensive, relatively uncontrolled high energy source (corona discharge) and converts it into energetic species that provide a “soft” ioniza...
