SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ION SPECIES ANALYSIS WITH ENHANCED CONDITION CONTROL AND DATA INTERPRETATION USING DIFFERENTIAL MOBILITY SPECTROMETERS

摘要

System and method for identifying one or more ion species of a sample, comprising a first for filtering the ion species of the sample over a range of applied asymmetric fields and compensation fileds, a detector for measuring the ion intensities of the filtered ion species over the range of applied asymmetric fields and compensation fields, a processor for generating an image showing the ion intensities over the range of the asymmetric fields and compensation fields and processing windowed portions of the image to identify one or more ion species of the sample.
