Abstract:
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) systems, devices, and associated methods of operation are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an IMS system includes an ionization region configured to receive and ionize a sample into ionized molecules and a detector configured to detect ionized molecules. The IMS system also includes a drift region in between and directly coupled to both the ionization region and the detector. The drift tube includes a first ion gate proximate the ionization region and a second ion gate proximate the detector. The first and second ion gates are configured to alternately introduce a batch of ionized molecules toward the detector while the other is maintained open, thereby allowing accurate measurement of a drift time of the ionized molecules corresponding to a drift length that is a distance between the first and second ion gates.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 16  wherein applying the control signals includes applying the control signals to:\n maintain the first ion gate open to fill the drift tube with the ionized molecules; and \n subsequently, open the second ion gate to introduce another batch of ionized molecules toward the detector under the applied electric field while the first ion gate is maintained open during a second stage of operation after the first stage of operation.
