How it works
The Drift Tube Ion Mobility Spectrometer (DTIMS) Model 3006 operates by classifying nanoparticles and large molecules based on their ion mobility—a property related to size, shape, and charge. The system consists of two key components:
- Drift Tube Ion Mobility Classifier (DTIMC) Model 3670
- Particles enter the aspirating drift tube, where they are subjected to a uniform electric field.
- Due to their unique mobility, particles drift through the tube at different speeds, achieving temporal separation based on size.
- Smaller particles move faster, while larger ones move slower, allowing precise classification.
- Fast Condensation Particle Counter (FastCPC) Model 3650
- Once classified, particles pass into the FastCPC, which rapidly counts and detects them.
- This counter has an ultra-fast response time (<20 ms), enabling real-time measurement of size distributions.
How It Delivers Results
- Rapid Measurement: The system completes an analysis in under 10 seconds for particles 2-10 nm and under 60 seconds for the full 2-40 nm range.
- Superior Resolution: Unlike traditional classifiers like Differential Mobility Analyzers (DMAs), the DTIMS achieves higher resolution due to its time-based classification.
- Dynamic Aerosol Insights: Ideal for studying rapidly evolving aerosols, it captures fast-changing particle distributions with unmatched precision.
Applications
- Real-time monitoring of nanoparticle formation and behavior
- High-throughput analysis of colloidal samples
- Advanced tandem mobility measurements (e.g., DMA-DTIMS studies)
By leveraging time-separation mobility analysis, the DTIMS Model 3006 delivers exceptional speed, accuracy, and resolution, making it an essential tool for aerosol research and nanoparticle characterization.
