Miniaturization of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is expected to have many advantages, as well as difficulties, in the separation of chemical species at atmospheric pressure. We report the results of studies of a miniature ion mobility spectrometer that has a drift channel 1.7 mm in diameter, the smallest cross section reported to date. The miniature cell contains a homogeneous drift field and is operated at atmospheric pressure. The miniature IMS has been characterized by measuring both negative and positive ion spectra using a frequency-quadrupled Nd: YAG laser on samples of NO, O2, and methyl iodide; a useful resolution (> 10) was achieved with an operating voltage of 500 V. Peak broadening due to Coulomb repulsion was determined to have a major effect on the resolution of the miniature device.
