Patent ID: 11874252
Assignee: MOBILION SYSTEMS, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 7, wherein the first separation region is configured to generate a first traveling drive potential and the second separation region is configured to generate a second traveling drive potential,
wherein the step of separating, by the first separation region, the first plurality of ions based on mobility of the ions, comprises:
applying a first voltage signal to the first separation region; and
generating, by the first separation region, the first traveling drive potential based on the first voltage signal, the first traveling drive potential guiding the first plurality of ions through the first separation region to the exit region and separating the ions based on mobility of the ions during the first separation time period, and

wherein the step of separating, by the second separation region, the second plurality of ions based on mobility of the ions, comprises:
applying a second voltage signal to the second separation region; and
generating, by the second separation region, the second traveling drive potential based on the second voltage signal, the second traveling drive potential guiding the second plurality of ions through the second separation region to the exit region and separating the ions based on mobility of the ions during the second separation time period that at least partially overlaps the first separation time period.
