Abstract
Ion mobility spectrometers and methods for determining an ion mobility spectrum of a sample are provided. The ion mobility spectrometers comprise a drift chamber and a cylindrical reaction chamber, wherein the drift chamber is designed to transport ions from a switching grid to an ion detector against an axial drift gas flow. The reaction chamber has a sample gas inlet adjacent to the switching grid for introducing a sample gas, a gas outlet opposite the switching grid for discharging drift gas and sample gas, and a local ionisation source arranged at the gas outlet. The sample gas inlet comprises gas inlets arranged oppositely on an inner circumference of the reaction chamber. The methods operate the ion mobility spectrometers to determine an ion mobility spectrum of a sample.
