Abstract: Disclosed is an ion source comprising a plate-shaped source body which has radioactivity on its both sides and allows positive and negative ions to penetrate through the source body. The present invention gives beneficial effects. First, the ion source structure can improve the ionization efficiency of sample molecules, and the generated sample ions have a centralized distribution within a flat space on both sides of the source body. Such distribution of ion cloud facilitates to improve the IMS sensitivity. Meanwhile, the source body of the present invention has a transmittance in itself. Thus, positive and negative ions generated on both sides of the source body can penetrate through the source body and be separated to the both sides of the source body. In this way, it is possible to improve the utilization efficiency of ions.

Abstract: An array-based ion storage system includes an ion generation section, and an ion storage section having a first end electrode coupled to the ion generation section and having multiple holes, a second end electrode having multiple holes, an intermediate electrode having multiple holes, a first insulator formed as a ring between the first end electrode and the intermediate electrode, and a second insulator formed as a ring between the intermediate electrode and the second end electrode. The ion storage section can be made thinner to facilitate consistency in ion extraction and reduce the spread of an ion mobility spectrum peak. The insulators have a big hole, and the ions cannot bump onto the insulation material during ion vibration or thermal movement in the storage space. Therefore, charge transfer and accumulation at the insulator and the subsequent discharge will not occur, suppressing instability of storage and loss of ions.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ion gate for a dual IMS and method. The ion gate includes an ion source, a first gate electrode placed on one side of the ion source, a second gate electrode placed on the other side of the ion source, a third gate electrode placed on the side of the first gate electrode away from the ion source, a fourth gate electrode placed on the side of the second gate electrode away from the ion source, wherein during the ion storage, the potential at the position on the tube axis of the ion gate corresponding to the first gate electrode is different from the potentials at the positions on the tube axis corresponding to the ion source and the third gate electrode, and the potential at the position on the tube axis corresponding to the second gate electrode is different from the potentials at the positions on the tube axis corresponding to the ion source and the fourth gate electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode structure for a drift tube in IMS comprising a ring electrode, for each of two surfaces of the ring electrode, at least a part adjacent to the inner radius is formed into a cone, and the angles formed between the cones and the axis of the ring electrode are different from each other. The electrode structure of the present invention can alleviate, even eliminate, the accumulation of space charges in the drift tube. Such structure is particularly suitable when the electric field in the drift tube is low in strength or a great number of ions pass through. Meanwhile, the structure allows a significant decrease in the size of the outer radius of the electrode, while the inner radius remains constant. In this way, it is possible to effectively reduce the outline size of the drift tube and thus make the IMS compact.
