Abstract:
An ion mobility spectrometer analytical instrument, including an ion mobility spectrometer, a swab interface, and a desorber assembly. The desorber assembly includes a heat transfer device configured to heat a desorber, as well as a supply configured to direct gas through the desorber. The instrument further includes a drift tube, high voltage device arrayed, at least in part, proximate to the drift tube, wherein the high voltage device is configured to change a polarity of a voltage applied to the drift tube and have an absolute voltage of about 500 to 1500 volts. The instrument further includes a reactant supply unit adapted to supply reactant during a sample substance analysis, and a control unit.

Claim (Index 19):
A program product embedded in a computer-readable medium for reconfiguring an analytical instrument including an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) and a control unit adapted to control the analytical instrument during a sample substance analysis, comprising:\n a first machine-readable program code on a computer-readable medium including at least a first fragment for causing, when executed, the analytical instrument to perform the following method actions:\n testing a swab for a sample substance using the analytical instrument, wherein the action of using the analytical instrument to test the swab includes, based on the first fragment: \n operating a desorber of the analytical instrument at a first desorber setpoint; \n operating the desorber at a first desorber flow rate; \n opening and shutting an IMS gate of the analytical instrument at a first gate width timing; \n varying a polarity of a high voltage applied to a drift tube of the IMS at a first voltage varying timing; and \n permitting a reactant to flow and stopping the reactant flow at a first reactant flow timing, wherein the first machine-readable program code is adapted to be transferred via at least one of an analogue and a digital data communication port onto a data storage unit which is accessible by the control unit, and \n wherein the first machine-readable program code is adapted to be erased by transferring via at least one of the analogue and the digital data communication port onto the data storage unit, a second machine-readable program code different from the first machine readable program code.
