Abstract
A method and apparatus for carrying out analyses of a gas comprising one or more species by using an ion mobility spectrometer which includes a plurality of electrodes arranged in a chamber divided by an electrifiable grid into a reaction zone provided with an inlet for the gas to be analyzed and a drift zone provided with at least one ion detector. The electrodes generate at least one electric field non-uniform in space along the longitudinal axis of the chamber.
