Abstract
Apparatus and method for generating ammonia gas. In one aspect, a method for generating ammonia gas for use in an ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) system is provided. The method includes inserting a device into a space defined within the IMS system, the device including an ammonia compound. The method also includes activating to decompose and to produce the ammonia gas without producing water vapor. The method also includes emitting the ammonia gas into the IMS system.
