摘要
In this work, the influence of the sample gas flow rate and the ionization region volume of an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) used as a detector in gas chromatography (GC) on GC-IMS peak shape has been investigated. Therefore, a drift tube IMS with a field-switching ion shutter, a defined ionization region volume and an ultraviolet radiation source was used. To identify the influence of the sample gas flow rate entering the ionization region (equals the GC carrier gas flow rate if no further make-up gas is used) and the ionization region volume on peak broadening and signal intensity, different sample volumes as they would elute from a GC were tested at a variety of sample gas flow rates at a given ionization region volume. The results clearly show that for low sample gas flow rates a depletion of sample molecules in the ionization region leads to a significant decrease in effective detector volume but also to reduced signal intensities. Therefore, for optimal performance of a GC-IMS, the optimal operating point of the GC should match the flow range, where the IMS provides the best compromise between signal-to-noise ratio and peak broadening.
