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 14):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the action of obtaining the analytical instrument includes obtaining the analytical instrument having, stored in the digital data storage unit, at least an initial fragment which includes a plurality of initial respective analytical instrument operational control parameters which, during operation of the reconfigurable analytical instrument during an initial temporal period in an analysis of a sample substance using the analytical instrument, results in the analytical instrument, based on the initial fragment:\n operating a desorber of the analytical instrument at an initial desorber setpoint; operating the desorber at an initial desorber flow rate; operating an IMS gate of the analytical instrument at an initial gate width timing; varying a polarity of a high voltage applied to a drift tube of the IMS at an initial voltage varying timing; permitting a reactant to flow and stopping the reactant flow at an initial reactant flow timing; wherein the action of storing in the data storage unit the first fragment results in the analytical instrument having, stored in the data storage unit, the first fragment which includes a plurality of first respective analytical instrument control parameters including the first analytical instrument control parameter which, during operation of the reconfigurable analytical instrument during a first temporal period in an analysis of a sample substance using the analytical instrument, results in the analytical instrument, based on the first fragment, at least one of: operating the desorber of the analytical instrument at a first desorber setpoint different from the initial desorber setpoint; operating the desorber at a first desorber flow rate different from the initial desorber flow rate; operating the IMS gate of the analytical instrument at a first gate width timing different from the initial gate width timing; varying a polarity of a voltage applied to the drift tube of the IMS at a first voltage varying timing different from the initial voltage varying timing; and permitting the reactant to flow and stopping the reactant flow at a first reactant flow timing different from the initial reactant flow timing.
