Abstract:		"Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) is a revolutionary on-line VOCs monitoring method. In this study, a new microwave plasma-based proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (MWP-PTR-MS) is developed. The MWP consists of a surfatron type resonator and a cooperative ion extraction device to achieve high efficiency production of hydronium ions. Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium water plasma is generated in a quartz tube at 200?ª+Pa with 2.45?ª+GHz microwave. Characters of MWP, such as emission spectroscopy, input power, dirty ion suppressing and ion extraction, are explored systematically. With the same test platform, MWP has a 7-fold increment of hydronium ion production rate than glow discharge source. The counts rate of hydronium ion is 8?ª+x?ª+10(6) cps with abundance of NO(+) and O(2)(+) is less than 0.4% and 5% respectively. The performance of MWP-PTR-MS is validated by analysis of several chemicals and demonstration application is conducted. The instrument showed good linearity above 99% in the range of 4.5?ª+x?ª+10(-11) to 4.5?ª+x?ª+10(-9)?ª+mol/L. Benefited from the character of surface wave and 2.45?ª+GHz microwave, MWP has high potential in improving the performance and reliability of current PTR-MS"
