Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. An analyzer comprising an ionization apparatus and an analysis unit;
the ionization apparatus comprising an inlet, an outlet, a first electrode, a second electrode, a dielectric element and a charge carrier filter;
wherein:
the first electrode, the second electrode and the dielectric element are arranged relative to one another such that, by applying an electric voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode, a dielectric barrier discharge is establishable in a discharge area in the ionization apparatus;
the inlet allows a flow of analyte into the ionization apparatus, the discharge area allows a flow of analyte therethrough, and the outlet allows a discharge of the analyte from the ionization apparatus;
the charge carrier filter is arranged upstream of the outlet of the ionization apparatus and configured to filter ions or charged particles on the basis of their type of charge, wherein a magnetic field is generable by the charge carrier filter, or the charge carrier filter is a grid; and
the analysis unit is configured to execute an analysis on the basis of a molecular charge.
