  • Patent number: 10458945
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for ion separation, for example using time of flight and ion mobility spectrometry. Ion shutters for use in IMS cells and to methods of operating them are also disclosed. The shutter includes a first shutter electrode and a second shutter electrode. A barrier voltage between these two electrodes is controlled to open and close the shutter to allow ions of interest to pass through the shutter in a drift direction. The control involves varying both: (a) the voltage of the first shutter electrode; and (b) the voltage of the second shutter electrode.
