CROSS-FLOW ION MOBILITY ANALYZER

摘要

A cross-flow ion mobility analyzer (CIMA) (10) that includes at least two electrodes (12, 14) which form a channel (16) for guiding ions (36) from an ion source (22) to a detector (34) and create an electric field therebetween for separating the mass to charged ratio of the ions (36) in the channel (16); and a fluid direction (28) following in opposition to the electric field.
