A Grimm-type glow discharge ion source has been constructed for a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). This source was operated in the microsecond-pulsed mode. Special features of pulsed Grimm GD-TOF-MS are described, including resolving power, stability, sensitivity and the temporal separation of discharge gas species and analyte ions. The analytical characteristics of a pulsed Grimm GD-TOF-MS system were also evaluated. These preliminary studies demonstrate the potential of this technique for the elemental analysis for solids.
