Definitions
- a chromatographic separation device In the gas chromatographic analysis of a mixture of substances, it is passed together with a carrier gas through a chromatographic separation device, in which the substances of the mixture of substances are separated due to different retention times and therefore appear one after the other at the exit of the separation device.
- Different detectors are available for the detection of the separated substances, e.g. B. thermal conductivity detectors or flame ionization detectors available.
- the use of a mass spectrometer as a detector enables not only the detection of the chromatographically separated substances but also the differentiation of substances with the same retention times but different masses. Since the mass spectrometric analysis of substances takes place in a vacuum, the presence of the carrier gas coming out of the gas chromatograph together with the separated substances is undesirable.
- the mass spectrometer is therefore connected to the outlet of the separating device via a controllable inlet valve, which is only opened as required, that is to say when the separated substances arrive, the carrier gas being discharged (DE 1598568).
- a controllable inlet valve which is only opened as required, that is to say when the separated substances arrive, the carrier gas being discharged (DE 1598568).
- the control of the supply of separated substances to the mass spectrometer can therefore only be carried out relatively roughly in compliance with safety times, so that a not inconsiderable amount of carrier gas gets into the mass spectrometer and a correspondingly high pump output is required to generate the necessary vacuum.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of optimizing the mass spectrometric analysis of substances separated by gas chromatography.
- the object is achieved by a gas chromatograph with a downstream mass spectrometer, which is connected via a controllable inlet valve to the outlet of a separating device of the gas chromatograph separating the substances of a mixture of substances passing through it, with an in-line between the outlet of the separating device and the inlet valve the separated substances are arranged in a non-destructive detector and the detector is followed by an evaluation device which evaluates detector signals generated by the detector and, depending on this, controls the inlet valve to introduce predeterminable substances into the mass spectrometer.
- the object is further achieved by a method for gas-chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of a mixture of substances, which is passed through a separating device to separate the substances contained therein by means of a carrier gas, at the exit of which the separated substances arriving there for quantitative determination via a controllable inlet valve be introduced into a mass spectrometer, the separated substances being detected by an in-line detector arranged between the outlet of the separating device and the inlet valve and, depending on the detection, the inlet valve being driven to introduce predeterminable substances into the mass spectrometer.
- the separated substances appearing at the outlet of the separating device are detected in-line and non-destructively, only those substances which have been selected for a further mass spectrometric analysis being passed on to the spectrometer.
- the transit time of the substances from the detector to the inlet valve of the mass spectrometer is known due to the speed of the carrier gas flow, so that the substances can be transferred very selectively into the mass spectrometer and therefore the amount of carrier gas entering the mass spectrometer is minimal.
- the pump power for generating the vacuum in the mass spectrometer can therefore be correspondingly low, so that very small pumps, e.g. B. ion getter pumps can be used. This results in advantages in terms of costs, service life, maintenance requirements and power consumption.
- the scope of the measurement signal evaluation in the mass spectrometer is only limited to the substances selectively supplied to it, so that its electronics and software can be made cheaper and more efficient (faster).
- Substances that are not selected for mass spectrometric analysis can still be analyzed by the in-line detector and the downstream evaluation device if necessary.
- the measurement path of the detector through which the substance mixture flows is preferably designed in such a way that its cross-sectional dimensions correspond at least approximately to the cross-sectional dimensions of the separation device.
- the detector consists of a thermal conductivity detector with heating resistors arranged in a bridge circuit, of which two heating resistors are arranged diagonally opposite one another in the measuring path in the two different bridge halves; the other two heating resistors are located then in a reference path through which the carrier gas flows, for example.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the gas chromatograph mass spectrometer
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment for the detector.
- FIG. 1 shows a gas chromatograph 1 with a downstream mass spectrometer 2 for analyzing a mixture of substances (sample) 3, which after removal from a technical process and preparation is fed to a metering device 4.
- the dosing device 4 is used to introduce a predetermined dosing amount of the sample 3 in the form of a short and sharply delimited sample plug 5 into a carrier gas stream 6 and to feed it to a separation device 7 in the form of a separation column or column connection.
- the separating device 7 separates the substances contained in the sample plug 5 according to their retention times, so that the substances appear one after the other at the outlet of the separating device 7.
- a detector 8 for detecting the separated substances is arranged at the outlet of the separating device 7.
- the detector 8 supplies a detector signal 9 which contains a peak 10 for each separated substance, the peak area of which is proportional to the quantity of substance.
- the arrival of selected substances is determined on the basis of their peaks 10 in an evaluation device 11 arranged downstream of the detector 8, and an inlet valve 12 between the detector 8 and the mass spectrometer 2 is controlled in dependence thereon and on the carrier gas speed in such a way that this only the selected substances into the mass spectrometer 2 initiates and discharges the other substances and the carrier gas via an outlet 13.
- the selected substances entering the vacuum 14 of the mass spectrometer 2 are ionized in an ion source 15, then separated in a mass filter 16 according to their mass / charge ratio and finally detected by means of a detector array 17 with a downstream evaluation device 18.
- FIG. 2 shows an example of the in-line detector 8, which is designed here as a thermal conductivity detector.
- the detector 8 has wire-shaped heating resistors 20, 21, 22, 23, which are arranged in a bridge circuit 24, the bridge circuit 24 being supplied with a current at two opposite circuit points 25 from a detector circuit 26 and between the two other opposite circuit points 27 occurring voltage is detected by the detector circuit 26 for generating the detector signal.
- the heating resistors 20 and 21 located diagonally opposite one another in the bridge circuit 24 are arranged between the separating device 7 and the inlet valve 12 in a measuring path 28 of the detector 8, while the other two heating resistors 22 and 23 are arranged in a reference path 29 through which the carrier gas 6 flows.
- the measurement path 28 is designed in such a way that its internal cross-sectional dimensions correspond to those of the connected separating device 7, so that the separated mixture of substances flowing through is not disturbed.
- the heating resistors 20, 21, 22, 23 and the inner walls of the paths 28, 29 consist of materials which are inert towards the substance mixture to be analyzed or the carrier gas 6, for example from gold or silicon dioxide (quartz), so that a Changes in the mixture of substances due to chemical reactions are excluded.
