Figure 2: Placing the X-Rail into the Cradle Using the 3mm Allen wrench, remove the three screws that attach the X-cradle to the base of the DART SVP. Take the X-Rail and slide the non-motor end (end opposite the cable) into the cradle, making sure that the front of the stage faces the screw holes. - Page 5 DART-SVP Source Rev 2: (SN: SVPS002XX) The revision 2 DART-SVP source, pictured below, has an X-Rail Cradle but it is not removable from the source baseplate. Simply place the linear rail directly into the cradle on the baseplate, and lock into place using the two set screws.
- Page 6 Place the block end of the Y-Rail on top of the X-Rail’s stage. Using four 2.5mm screws and the 2.5mm Allen wrench, secure the block onto the stage, aligning the Y-Rail so that the front piece of the Y-rail’s stage faces the cradle. Tighten the two 1.5mm set screws on the back of the block to finish attachment.
- Page 7 Pull the DART SVP source housing all of the way back from the mass spectrometer inlet and remove the ceramic tube from the VAPUR interface. Supporting the rail assembly carefully, place the cradle back into the space between the MS interface and DART, with the three screws on the far side of the MS.
- Page 8 Raise the DART source to its maximum height so that the 3+D sample tray can fit underneath it. Loosen the knobs on the side of the DART and turn it downward three clicks so that it is now pointed downward at a 45 degree angle.
- Page 9 Place the block of the sample tray on the Y-Rail stage and secure the top of the block using four 2.5mm hex screws. Then, using a 1.5mm Allen wrench, tighten the two set screws on the back side of the rail. This will hold the sample tray firmly in position.

If the software needs to be updated then download the file from the IonSense website and reference the DART Software Manual v3 for instructions on how to update. A printed version of this software manual comes with each DART system, or can be access here: http://www.ionsense.com/manuals... -
Page 11: Methods
Methods Once the software is updated select the Methods tab at the bottom of the software screen. There will be two new methods available. NOTE: The methods may need to be added to the main list; reference page 8 of the Software Manual v3 for details. - Page 12 Once the method is selected either hit Start to begin the method, or select Edit to change the various parameters. Each of these methods is described in more detail on the following pages.
- Page 13 3+D Imaging The following parameters can be adjusted: Sample Count Number of rows. Ion Mode Ions can be positive or negative. Temperature The temperature of the heater. X Start Position X location where the sample starts. X Sample Speed How fast the X rail moves over the sample. X Length Length of the sample.

Due to the heat from the DART gun, samples cannot be placed on every row. - Page 15 • For Right Handed Rails In this configuration, the sample plate will be introduced from the left side of the DART Source. Due to the heat from the DART gun, samples cannot be placed on every row. Instead, samples should be placed in every other row, starting with row B. The plate should...
