Current developments in ion mobility spectrometry

Ion mobility spectrometry: recent developments and novel applications

Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) was first introduced in the late 1960s as an instrumental technique for the detection of trace quantities of gaseous organic compounds at atmospheric pressure. The development of mobility theory and the emerging analytical applications for IMS were later discussed by FW Karasek [1] and researchers continued to gather fundamental data about this technique and the ...

Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry

for more complex analysers for automated sample processing and plant control. The separation time will continue to decrease; in the past there has been limited interest in fast separations but this could change as automated sample processing is developed. Increasing use of coupled techniques such as GC-GC, liquid chromatography-GC, and supercritical Suid chromatography-GC for the separation of ...

Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry

Development of atmospheric pressure ionization ion mobility spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry mass spectrometry

DETECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF ACETONE IN THE BREATH OF DIABETICS BY ION MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY METHOD

Background: The ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is an analytical technique that is widely used due to its high sensitivity and speed for the detection of ionized molecules in gas phase and under atmospheric pressure. Breath analysis is a new method for obtaining information about person's clinical conditions that is considered by researchers. Human exhaled air contains a variety of components s...
