Resolution equations for high-field ion mobility.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An extension of current mobility resolution equations as they apply to high-field ion mobility spectrometry is presented. The new resolution expression is applied to arrival time distributions for ions having a large range of ion mobilities and mass-to-charge ratios (m/z). The results indicate that the new equation can be utilized to predict the mobility resolution over a broader range of applied electric fields than previous ion mobility resolution expressions.

A scanning frequency mode for ion cyclotron mobility spectrometry.
A new operational mode for an ion cyclotron mobility spectrometry instrument is explored as a possible means of performing high-resolution separations. The approach is based on oscillating fields that are applied to segmented regions of a circular drift tube. Ions with mobilities that are resonant with the frequency of field application are transmitted while nonresonant species are eliminated. ...
متن کاملIon dynamics in a trapped ion mobility spectrometer.
In the present paper, theoretical simulations and experimental observations are used to describe the ion dynamics in a trapped ion mobility spectrometer. In particular, the ion motion, ion transmission and mobility separation are discussed as a function of the bath gas velocity, radial confinement, analysis time and speed. Mobility analysis and calibration procedure are reported for the case of...
متن کاملDifferential ion mobility separations in up to 100% helium using microchips.
The performance of differential IMS (FAIMS) analyzers is much enhanced by gases comprising He, especially He/N2 mixtures. However, electrical breakdown has limited the He fraction to ~50%-75%, depending on the field strength. By the Paschen law, the threshold field for breakdown increases at shorter distances. This allows FAIMS using chips with microscopic channels to utilize much stronger fiel...

Gas phase ion mobility measurements can resolve structural isomers for polyatomic ions and provide information about their geometries. A new experimental apparatus for performing high-resolution ion mobility measurements is described. The apparatus consists of a pulsed laser vaporization/desorption source coupled through an ion gate to a 63-cm-long drift tube. The ion gate is a critical compone...
متن کاملSpecial Interest Group Ion-mobility Mass Spectrometry
"Why are we interested in ion mobility?" Ion mobility is not a new technique, but its recent marriage with high-resolution mass spectrometry on a commercial platform has made it possible to combine its separation and characterization capabilities with the power of MS and MS/MS data – the determination of size and shape as well as mass and charge. We are now seeing a rapid growth of applications...
