    摘要: An ion mobility device includes a plurality of electrodes and a current source. The plurality of electrodes arranged along an axis extending from a first end to a second end. The plurality of electrodes configured to receive a gas flow at the second end and provide for an expansion of the gas flow from the second end to the first end such that a first gas velocity at the second end is greater than a second gas velocity at the first end. The current source is configured to apply a first potential to the plurality of electrodes to generate a first electric field during a trapping and equilibration time period; and apply a second potential to the electrodes during an ejection time period to generate a second electric field, the second electric field being greater than the first electric field.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for sorting ions including a group of multipole electrodes configured to form an ion trap, and an ion guide adjacent to, and operably coupled to the group of multipole electrodes. Using a radio frequency (RF) or Direct Current (CD) power supply device the system can apply an RF voltage to the group of multipole electrodes thereby creating a pseudo-potential barrier. A DC gradient voltage may then be applied creating an axial field in opposition to the pseudo-potential barrier. As the DC voltage is raised and/or the RF voltage is lowered, one or more ions will be eluted through the barrier.
