Abstract

A system and method for introducing and analyzing a sample containing an analyte using an ion mobility spectrometer are described. The system includes a temperature module for adjusting the temperature of the sample according to temperature instructions received, and a split ratio module for adjusting the split ratio according to split ratio instructions received. An ion mobility analyzer determines an ion mobility of the analyte. The ion mobility analyzer collects a plasmagram of the analyte to identify and quantitate the analyte.
