Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ion source ( 12, 102 ) for a mass spectrometer comprising an ionizer ( 18, 106 ) receiving an ionizer gas from an ionizer gas supply ( 16 ), a conditioner ( 20 ) in communication with the ionizer ( 18, 106 ), a reactor ( 22, 110 ) in communication with the conditioner ( 20 ) and adapted for communication with the mass spectrometer, the reactor ( 22, 110 ) adapted to receive a sample from a sample supply in communication with the reactor ( 22, 110 ), wherein the conditioner ( 20 ) is sized to remove fast diffusing electrons from a flow of the ionizer gas from the glow discharge ionizer ( 18, 106 ) to the reactor ( 22, 110 ).
