Preparative Mass Spectrometry (pMS) is an ion beam deposition technique producing highly purified, mass-filtered homogeneous samples of non-volatile compounds such as metal ion clusters(1), sugars(2) or intact Proteins in vacuum(3). High-intensity ion sources are a prerequisite to apply pMS to produce technological coatings on a macroscopic surface as well as to selectively mass-filter and land low-abundance ionic species.(4) However, in current mass spectrometers the transmission efficiency from electrospray to high vacuum is less than a tenth and the maximum ion current achievable is limited to the low nA range(4). We want to overcome this barrier by developing a novel vacuum interface combining a high-capacity transfer capillary(5, 6) with an ion funnel system optimised under fluid dynamics aspects.
