Disclosed is a high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer (FAIMS) having a side-to-side electrode geometry. The FAIMS includes an inner electrode (102) having a length and an outer surface that is curved in a direction transverse to the length. The FAIMS also includes an outer electrode (104) having a length, a channel extending therethrough along at least a portion of the length, and a curved inner surface, a portion of the length of the outer electrode overlapping a portion of the length of the inner electrode so as to provide an analyzer region therebetween. The outer electrode has an ion inlet (114) for introducing ions from a source of ions into the analyzer region and an ion outlet (112) for extracting ions from the analyzer region, the ion inlet and the ion outlet being disposed on opposing sides of the outer electrode. The FAIMS is characterized in that at least one of the inner and outer electrodes is shaped such that a width of the analyzer region in the vicinity of the ion outlet is other than a width of the analyzer region in at least one other region.

A high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer (FAIMS) having spherical electrode geometry is disclosed. The spherical FAIMS includes an inner generally spherical electrode supported in a spaced-apart arrangement relative to an outer electrode. The outer electrode has a curved inner surface that maintains an approximately uniform spacing to the inner electrode.

An ion inlet and an ion outlet are disposed within the curved inner surface of the outer electrode such that the shortest distance between the inlet and the outlet in any direction around the inner electrode is approximately a same distance.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for separating ions produced at an electrospray ionization source, based upon the high field mobility properties of the ions. An apparatus according to the instant invention includes a high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer (FAIMS) having an analyzer region defined by a space between an inner electrode (32) and an outer electrode (34). In particular, the outer electrode includes an ion inlet (38) for introducing ions into a first portion of the analyzer region and an ion outlet (56) for extracting ions from a second portion of the analyzer region. The FAIMS is characterized in that a gas-directing conduit (48) is provided through at least a portion of the inner electrode. In particular, the gas-directing conduit includes an opening at a first end thereof for supporting fluid communication between the gas-directing conduit and the first portion of the analyzer region. The gas-directing conduit is adapted at a second end thereof opposite the first end for supporting fluid communication between a gas source and the gas-directing conduit. The opening is orientated relative to the ion inlet such that gas provided through the gas-directing conduit flows partially outwardly from the analyzer region through the ion inlet, so as to desolvate the ions produced at an ionization source (42, 45) as they are introduced into the analyzer region.
