Analytical instrument systems, components, and methods for stabilizing discharge formation are described. A spark gap device includes a first planar coil, defining an axis normal to a coil plane and defining a first aperture substantially centered about the axis. The spark gap device includes a second planar coil, offset from the first planar coil along the axis and substantially parallel with the coil plane, the second planar coil defining a second aperture substantially centered about the axis. The spark gap device also includes a conductive element disposed in the first aperture and substantially aligned with the axis.
