Claims40
A mass spectrometer comprising a sampling cone or a cone-gas cone, wherein said sampling cone or cone-gas cone comprises a first coating or surface on at least a portion of said sampling cone or cone-gas cone, wherein said first coating or surface comprises a metallic boride coating or surface.
A mass spectrometer comprising an extraction cone, wherein said extraction cone comprises a first coating or surface provided on at least a portion of said extraction cone, wherein said first coating or surface comprises a metallic boride coating or surface.
A method of mass spectrometry comprising:
- passing ions through a sampling cone or a cone-gas cone of a mass spectrometer, wherein said sampling cone or said cone-gas cone comprises a first coating or surface provided on at least a portion of said sampling cone or said cone-gas cone, wherein said first coating or surface comprises a metallic boride coating or surface.
A method of mass spectrometry comprising:
- passing ions through an extraction cone of a mass spectrometer, wherein said extraction cone comprises a first coating or surface provided on at least a portion of said extraction cone, wherein said first coating or surface comprises a metallic boride coating or surface.
A method of making a sampling cone or a cone-gas cone for a mass spectrometer comprising:
- depositing, sputtering or forming a first coating or surface on at least a portion of a sampling cone or a cone-gas cone of a mass spectrometer, wherein said first coating or surface comprises a metallic boride coating or surface.
A method of making an extraction cone for a mass spectrometer comprising:
- depositing, sputtering or forming a first coating or surface on at least a portion of an extraction cone of a mass spectrometer, wherein said first coating or surface comprises a metallic boride coating or surface.
