Abstract

A system for multi-stage differential mobility spectrometer (multi-stage DMS) and the method of operating and using the same are described. Ions produced in an ionization source are introduced into the separation region of multi-stage DMS, which includes at least two DMS stages. Each DMS stage is configured to generate separation and compensation fields to characterize, separate, or select ion species. The separation region further includes ion alteration stages which are placed between various adjacent stages of multi-stage DMS. Alteration of ions can be both chemical and physical. Ions whichare separated, altered, and selectively passed by all DMS stages of multi-stage DMS are then measured or further characterized by the Faraday plate detectors or a mass spectrometer.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] For priority, this specification relies on U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 62 / 611,313, filed December 28, 2017, entitled "Dual Stage Differential Mobility Spectrometer," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] This specification relates to systems for differential mobility spectroscopy (DMS). More specifically, this description relates to multi-stage DMS analyzers and methods of operation and use. Background technique [0004] Ion mobility methods such as differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) are used in chemical measurements and are based on the formation of ions originating from a sample and the characterization of these ions in an electric field and a supporting gas atmosphere. The support atmosphere may include air, nitrogen, and combinations of gases including hydrogen and helium at pressures ranging from a few Torr to ambient pressure. The characterization of gas ions in an...
