Electron impact ion source (EI) is a kind of highly efficient ionization source that can be used in vacuum. The ionization efficiency of EI can reach 0.1%, and EI can ionize almost all substances. In recent years, the development of electron impact ion source-ion trap mass spectrometry (EI-ITMS) has made great progress, which makes portable gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) widely used in the rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of toxic and harmful substances. However, the performance debugging of EI-ITMS instrument is still very complicated. Firstly, the ion transmission efficiency of EI needs to set up a suitable lens voltage. Secondly, EI ionization will produce a large number of fragmented ions. To ensure the best mass range, it is necessary to continuously fine tune the relevant voltage parameters of the ion trap mass analyzer. In this work, a set of mass range optimization debugging program was established on the basis of homemade EI-ITMS devices. The developed EI-ITMS were connected in the axial direction. The gas sample entered the EI source through a 75-μm quartz capillary tube, and then the generated ions were accelerated and focused under the action of the extraction electrode system and flowed to the ion trap. The frontcap voltage of the ion trap was used as the gate to control the entry of ions. The parameters of the EI were optimized, and the motion trajectory and transmission efficiency of the ions under the experimental conditions were simulated using simion software. The established mass range optimization program was helpful to alleviate the mass discrimination effect of ion trap mass analyzer and realized the analysis of small mass fragments produced by EI ionization. Experiments showed that the established program could successfully optimize the detection of acetone fragment ion m/z 43 and perfluorotributylamine fragment ion m/z 414. This work laid a foundation for the introduction of chromatographic analysis.
