Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry

Hybrid ion mobility and mass spectrometry as a separation tool.

Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) has seen spectacular growth over the last two decades. Increasing IMS sensitivity and capacity with improvements in MS instrumentation have driven this growth. As a result, a diverse new set of techniques for separating ions by their mobility have arisen, each with characteristics that make them favorable for some experiments and...

Application of Ion Mobility Spectrometry for Determination of Morphine in Human Urine

In this study, a rapid, simple and sensitive ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) method with corona discharge as ionization source was described for the morphine determination in human urine. Morphine was extracted and purified from urine samples using solid phase extraction procedure with C18 column. It can offer the clean extracts which no extra peaks were observed in IMS. Under operating experim...

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

Note: Integration of trapped ion mobility spectrometry with mass spectrometry.

The integration of a trapped ion mobility spectrometer (TIMS) with a mass spectrometer (MS) for complementary fast, gas-phase mobility separation prior to mass analysis (TIMS-MS) is described. The ion transmission and mobility separation are discussed as a function of the ion source condition, bath gas velocity, analysis scan speed, RF ion confinement, and downstream ion optical conditions. TIM...

Collision cross section calibrants for negative ion mode traveling wave ion mobility-mass spectrometry.

Unlike traditional drift-tube ion mobility-mass spectrometry, traveling-wave ion mobility-mass spectrometry typically requires calibration in order to generate collision cross section (CCS) values. Although this has received a significant amount of attention for positive-ion mode analysis, little attention has been paid for CCS calibration in negative ion mode. Here, we provide drift-tube CCS v...
