PCB I-ion trap mass analyzer isebenzisa isakhiwo somgibe we-ion oqondile, i-electrode yayo icutshungulwa yi-PCB, futhi isigaba sayo esiphambanweni senzelwe ukuba sibe ngunxande. Izizathu zokwamukela lo mklamo zimi kanje: okokuqala, umgogodla we-ion oqondile unamandla amakhulu okugcina i-ion nokusebenza kahle kokuthwebula i-ion kunesicupho sendabuko esinobukhulu obuthathu, ngakho-ke inokuzwela okuphezulu ekuhlaziyweni nasekuboneni; Okwesibili, unxande ungenye yezakhiwo ezilula kakhulu zejiyomethri, elula kakhulu ukwenza imishini nokuhlangana. Okwesithathu, intengo ye-PCB iphansi, ubuchwepheshe bokucubungula nendlela evuthiwe.

Isicupho se-PCB ion siqukethe amapheya amabili ama-PCB electrode kanye nama-electrode end cap. Wonke ama-electrode e-PCB angama-2.2 mm awugqinsi futhi angama-46mm ubude. Ubuso be-electrode ngayinye ye-PCB benziwe izingxenye ezintathu: i-40mm electrode emaphakathi nama-electrode amabili wokugcina we-2.7mm. Iteyipu yokuvikela ububanzi ebanzi engu-0.3mm yenziwa ngomshini phakathi kwe-electrode ephakathi nama-electrode amabili okuphela ukuze izintambo ezihlukile zokusebenza zikwazi ukulayishwa ku-electrode ophakathi kanye nama-electrode womabili ngokulandelana. Izimbobo ezine zokubeka ngobubanzi be-1mm zicutshungulwa kuma-electrode kuzo zombili iziphetho zomhlangano we-ion trap. I-electrode yekhava yokugcina yenziwe ngensimbi engagqwali enesisindo esingu-0.5 mm futhi yacutshungulwa yenziwa ngendlela ekhethekile, ngakho-ke ingafaniswa eduze nezimbobo zokubeka kuzo zombili izinhlangothi ze-electrode ye-PCB ukwakha isicupho se-PCB ion.

Lapho i-ion trap mass analyzer isebenza, i-radiofrequency voltage isetshenziswa ku-electrode ophakathi we-PCB ukwakha insimu kagesi eboshiwe ye-AC, kuyilapho i-voltage voltage isetshenziswa kuma-electrode womabili ukwakha insimu kagesi eboshiwe ye-axial. Imbobo enobubanzi obungu-3mm icubungulwa maphakathi ne-cap cap electrode ngayinye. Ama-ion akhiqizwa yimithombo yangaphandle ye-ion angangena ogibeni lwe-ion ngembobo esekugcineni kwe-cap electrode, futhi aboshwe futhi agcinwe ogibeni lwe-ion ngaphansi kwesenzo esihlangene sensimu kagesi eboshiwe ye-AC kanye ne-axial DC eboshwe ngogesi. Elinye lamabhangqa amabili e-PCB electrode lakhiwe ngomshini phakathi nendawo ngoqhekeko olungu-0.8 mm ububanzi njengesiteshi sokukhipha i-ion, esisetshenziselwa ukukhetha ukukhipha ama-ion agcinwe ogibeni lwe-ion emgibeni wokutholwa nokuhlaziywa kwekhwalithi.
