ABSTRACT:
An ion mobility spectrometer is provided including at least one ionization chamber (1), which can be passed through by analyte-containing gas and at least one radiation source (2), from which ionizing radiation which is suitable for at least partially ionizing the analyte-containing gas enters the ionization chamber (1). At least one transition area (3) is provided, into which the at least partially ionized gas as ion carrier gas (4) and an almost ion-free gas as drift gas (5) can be charged in a way that, at least at the end of the transition area (3), a flow is established, in which cross-sectional areas (6) are mainly passed through by ion carrier gas (4) and other cross-sectional areas (7, 7′) are mainly passed through by drift gas (5). At least one separation area (8) is provided lying in the direction of flow behind the transition area (3), in which, likewise, cross-sectional areas are mainly passed through by ion carrier gas (4) and other cross-sectional areas are mainly passed through by drift gas (5). The drift gas (5) and ion carrier gas (4) flow unidirectionally, and the cross-sectional areas (6) that are mainly passed through by ion carrier gas (4) are smaller at least in one dimension than the cross-sectional areas (7, 7′) that are mainly passed through by drift gas (5).
