Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrode ring for an ion mobility spectrometer, an ion transfer tube and an ion mobility spectrometer. Wherein, the electrode ring has an outer edge thickness larger than its inner edge thickness in an axial direction. Through the present disclosure, in the structure of the electrode ring, the uniformity of the electric filed inside the transfer tube can be significantly improved. In the present disclosure, the smooth ion transfer zone inside the transfer tube can be enlarged. The ion transfer tube formed of electrode rings each having an inner edge thickness the same as the outer edge thickness in the axial direction apparently has poorer uniformity of electrode field than the ion transfer tube formed of electrode rings each having the same outer edge thickness but an inner edger thickness smaller than the outer edge thickness in the axial direction.

Abstract: A detection apparatus and method for an ion migration spectrum include acquiring an ion migration spectrum of pure carrier gas and an ion migration spectrum of carrier gas containing a test substance sample and performing differential process on the ion migration spectrum of the pure carrier gas and the ion migration spectrum of the carrier gas containing the test substance sample to acquire a differential spectrum. The value of a characteristic peak of the differential spectrum represents properties of the sample of substances. The method avoids interferences on the migration spectrum from interference sources of the apparatus itself, thereby improving detection sensitivity and accuracy of the ion migration spectrum, and migration spectrum shift caused by variations in the environmental conditions can be found and corrected through the differential process on the migration spectrum of the pure carrier gas, thereby achieving self-stableness and self-correction of the ion migration spectrometer.
