Abstract
The present disclosure relates to sensor systems and methods for analysing fluid samples. The sensor system comprises a housing () having an inlet for a fluid sample to enter the housing, an outlet for the fluid sample to exit the housing, and a fluid sample path within the housing for the fluid sample to flow between the inlet and the outlet. The sensor system also comprises an ionizer () which is external to the housing and which is for ionizing the fluid sample at a first location on the fluid sample path to generate sample ions, an ion mobility filter () which is at least partially located within the housing and which is for filtering the generated sample ions at a second location on the fluid sample path, and a detector () which is external to the housing and which is for detecting the sample ions which pass through the ion mobility filter at a third location on the fluid sample path.
