Abstract
An instrument for analysing ions is disclosed comprising: a first device () configured to onwardly transmit ions having a restricted range of physicochemical property values at any given time, and to change said range with time such that the first device () is capable of transmitting ions having different physicochemical property values at different times; and an ion mobility separator () arranged to receive ions transmitted by the first device (); wherein the instrument is configured such that the time that any given ion enters the ion mobility separator () and begins to be separated from other ions is defined by its time of transmission by the first device.
