A miniaturized linear ion trap mass spectrometer with continuous atmospheric pressure interface has been built in our lab. Significant extension in mass range and reduction in power consumption have been realized by the supplemental alternating current frequency scan mode. However, relatively poor sensitivity has been witnessed, which is directly dominated by the detection efficiency of the ion detector. Theoretical analysis has been implemented to find ways to improve the detection efficiency. The results show that enhanced sensitivity can be obtained by applying a direct current voltage on the pair of electrodes in eject direction. Experiments show that the sensitivity has been improved by more than one time due to the application of direct current voltage. With this design, this homemade miniature linear ion trap mass spectrometer can be used to analyze more rarefied samples, especially to on-site chemical analysis and space application.
