Atmospheric pressure ion trapping in a tandem FAIMS-FAIMS coupled to a TOFMS: Studies with electrospray generated gramicidin S ions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A tandem FAIMS-FAIMS system for ion trapping at room temperature and atmospheric pressure is described. The first FAIMS device consisted of a side-to-side configuration (sFAIMS) suitable for ion separation, whereas the second FAIMS device was appropriate for ion trapping (tFAIMS). Ions pre-selected by the sFAIMS entered the tFAIMS and were captured by virtual trapping fields at the hemispherical tip of the inner electrode. The use of the sFAIMS, with wider electrode diameters, and consequently better ion separation efficiency than the tFAIMS, lowered the number of background ions captured in the trapping region of tFAIMS, and thus reduced the space charge effects in the trap. This tandem device was coupled to a laboratory built time-of-flight mass spectrometer and was evaluated using the electrospray generated [M + 2H]2+ ion of gramicidin S. The half-time (t1/2) of the exponential decay of the ion cloud in tFAIMS, determined by monitoring the residual intensity of ions extracted from the ion trapping region of tFAIMS after various delay times, was about 2 s.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
