Syagen constructed and operated a prototype instrument with the use of a novel atmospheric sampling photoionization source coupled to a quadrupole-ion-trap, time-of-flight mass spectrometer (QitTof). The keys to reducing weight and power were the development of a notebook-computer data-acquisition system and a new low-power ion-trap RF source. Detection limits of 10-100 ppb and 5-50 pg were measured for a variety of compounds including phosphonates and aromatics. An air and liquid sampler was developed and shown to have a response time of 1-10 s, depending on mode of operation. The QitTof analyzer and processor can record mass spectra at 200 Hz, making it suitable for fast gas chromatography. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
