Published in a recent special issue of the International Journal for Ion Mobility Spectrometry, Wilks et al. present the experimental results of the characterization of Owlstone’s recently developed ultra-high field ion mobility spectrometry technology. Owlstone’s technology uses a combination of multiple micron-gap ion separators and a topologically novel high frequency separation waveform drive. This technology offers a solution to trace and ultra-trace chemical detection/monitoring problems, that conventional IMS and DMS/FAIMS systems find challenging.
