When an on-board power source is turned off, after a predetermined time has elapsed, a microcomputer 34 writes predetermined data in a nonvolatile memory 35, and when the on-board power source is turned on, the microcomputer 34 judges whether the predetermined data is written in the nonvolatile memory 35 or not. The components to be separated carry out selective interaction processes in a drift tube of the ion mobility spectrometer with specifically selected particles, in particular enantiometric collision molecules, which are supplied to a gas inlet, in such a way that they exhibit different rates of mobility during their drift from a sample inlet through the drift tube to an ion collector. The effective temperature to which the energy storage device is heated may be greater than an ambient temperature in the wellbore near the energy storage device. The substrates may be circuit boards and the receptacle may be mounted along the edges of the circuit board to allow for easier installation.
