Abstract:
A portable ion mobility spectrometry apparatus ( 1 ) for detecting an aerosol and a method for using the apparatus. The apparatus comprises an ion mobility spectrometer ( 3 ); a portable power source ( 5 ) carried by the apparatus for providing power to the apparatus ( 1 ); an inlet ( 7 ) for collecting a flow of air to be tested by the spectrometer ( 3 ); a heater ( 4 ) configured to heat the air to be tested to vapourise an aerosol carried by the air and a controller ( 2 ) configured to control the spectrometer ( 3 ) to obtain samples from the heated air, wherein the controller is configured to increase a heat output from the heater ( 4 ) for a selected time period before obtaining samples from the heated air.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 1  in which the inlet comprises a constriction adapted to reduce the cross section of the inlet through which the flow of air can pass, and the heater is arranged to heat the constriction more than the rest of the inlet.
