The invention includes an ion mobility spectrometer having a liquid filled drift chamber. The chamber has an ionization region partitioned from and an ion separation region by a reversible ion-migration block. An electrical field within the chamber allows ions to migrate toward the electrode collector. Passage of ions from the ionization region is triggered by reversing the block allowing ions to migrate into the ion separation region. The invention includes a method of ion mobility analysis in liquid phase. Ions are mobilized to migrate through a drift liquid and are detected at an end of a drift chamber. The invention also includes a method of generating ions in a sample. A sample containing molecules in a first solvent is introduced into a second solvent through a charged capillary where the electrically charged sample is electro-disperses to ionize the molecules.

The invention provides an ion mobility analyzer and a combination unit thereof and an ion mobility analysis method. The ion mobility analyzer comprises an electrode system that surrounds an analysis space, and a power supply device that attaches to the electrode system an ion mobility potential field which moves along a space axis direction. In an analysis process of the mobility of ions to be tested, the ions to be tested are placed in a motion migration electric field all the time, the direction of motion of the migration field is always the same as an electric field force that the ions to be tested are subjected to in the migration field, in theory, an infinitely long migration path can be formed, ions with extremely small difference in mobility or particle size are distinguished. Through nonlinearity of the migration field, simultaneous space constraint and separation effects of ions of various mobility can be realized. The analyzer can be combined with various ion sources, detectors, mass analyzers, other ion mobility analyzers and chromatographic and spectral analysis methods, and is easy to form a large-scale analyzer array together with electrodes through a multiplexing power supply.

An image forming apparatus including an image bearer, a magnetic field generator, a two-component developer bearer, a developing electric field generator, and an image developer. The two-component developer has at least a current speed index (25FRI) of from 0 to 2.0, which is determined by the following formula: 25FRI=(total energy at 10 mm / s / total energy at 100 mm / s). The total energy is an integral sum of a rotary torque and a vertical load when a blade of a powder fluidity analyzer spirally rotates at 10 mm / s and 100 mm / s, respectively, in the developer having a volume of 25 ml after idly agitated in the image developer for 10 minutes.

There is provided an ion-mobility spectrometer. This apparatus includes the following configuration components: An ion source for generating first ions, a first drift unit for separating the first ions by flight drift times, an ion dissociation unit for generating second ions by dissociating the first ions separated, and a second drift unit for separating the second ions by flight drift times. Moreover, the first drift unit, the ion dissociation unit, and the second drift unit are located inside a chamber whose pressure is set at 10 mTorr or higher. This apparatus allows execution of low-cost and high-resolving-power ion separation and detection.
