Abstract

A vacuum lock for rapid introduction of solid samples into a mass spectrometer is described. Analyses of the highest resolution requiring high vacuum can be made in five to ten minutes following the introduction of the sample. With an analysis time of about one hour using a surface ionization type of source, six to eight samples can be run in an eight-hour day. The unit is incorporated in a 12-in. 60° mass spectrometer.
