One of the key experimental parameters of measurements using a drift tube ion mobility spectrometer is the drift voltage applied across its length, as it governs a multitude of processes during the ion drift. While the ...

Ion mobility spectrometers (IMS) are able to detect pptV-level concentrations of substances in gasses and in liquids within seconds. Due to the continuous increase in analytical performance and reduction of the instrument ...

Miniaturized low-cost drift tubes with high analytical performance are a key component for the design of powerful and mass-deployable hand-held ion mobility spectrometers. Thus, a simple model that estimates the influence ...
