Abstract: Looped ionization sources for ion mobility spectrometers are described. The ionization sources can be used to ionize molecules from a sample of interest in order to identify the molecules based on the ions. In an implementation, an electrical ionization source includes a wire that is looped between electrical contacts. The wire is used to form a corona responsive to application of voltage between the wire and the walls of an ionization chamber. The corona can form when a sufficient voltage is applied between the wire and the walls. A difference in electrical potential between the wire and a wall forming an ionization chamber, in which wire is contained, can be used to draw the ions away from the wire. In embodiments, the wire can be heated to reduce the voltage used to strike the corona. The ions, subsequently, may ionize the molecules from the sample of interest. The looped corona source can also be used in mass spectrometers (MS).

Abstract translation: 描述了用于离子迁移率光谱仪的环形电离源。 电离源可用于从感兴趣的样品中离子化分子，以便基于离子鉴定分子。 在一个实施方案中，电离电离源包括在电触头之间环绕的导线。 导线用于响应于在电线和电离室的壁之间施加电压而形成电晕。 当电线和墙壁之间施加足够的电压时，可以形成电晕。 电线和形成电离室的壁之间的电位差可以用于将离子从电线中拉出。 在实施例中，可以加热导线以降低用于击打电晕的电压。 随后，离子可以使目标样品中的分子离子化。 环状电晕源也可用于质谱仪（MS）。
