Since the turn of the twenty-first century, applications of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) have diversified, expanding their utility in the military and security spheres and entering the realms of clinical practice and pharmaceutical exploration. Updated and expanded, the third edition of Ion Mobility Spectrometry begins with a comprehensive discussion of the fundamental theory and practice of IMS. Divided into four sections-Overview, Technology, Fundamentals, and Applications-the authors treat innovations and advances in all aspects of IMS in a fresh, thorough, and revised format.
Features:
Introduces the definitions, theory, and practice of IMS and summarizes its history from the beginnings of the study of ions to present commercial and scholarly activities
Presents the technology of IMS from a measurement perspective-covering inlet through ion formation, ion injection, electric fields, drift tube structures, and detectors
Covers the end results of measurement, the mobility spectrum, and the transformative trend of ion mobility: mass spectrometry
Discusses the influence on the experimental parameters on the mobility of ions
Mobility-based methods are no longer restricted to volatile substances and indeed the many benefits of this technology-simplicity, convenience, and the low cost of technology-have become recognized as meritorious in a wide range of uses. This is also true for the advantages of measurements-high speed, distinctive spectral features, and operation in ambient pressure with thermalized ions. Ion Mobility Spectrometry, Third Edition serves specialists in the field of IMS who are interested in the potential of recent developments and researchers, engineers, and students who want a comprehensive overview of this technology.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"... an excellent book and essential for every researcher and engineer working in the field of ion mobility. The authors, who are leading experts in IMS technology, provide an excellent overview of the current state of science and technology related to IMS and the most recent developments in this field. ... well written and easily understandable, with a well-balanced mix of practice-oriented information and theoretical background knowledge."
-Thomas Mayer, Department of Monitoring and Exploration Technologies, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ, Leipzig, Germany, from International Journal for Ion Mobility Spectrometry, December 2014
Praise for the Previous Edition
"... The second edition of this book provides a timely update to the fundamental theory, advancements in instrumentation, and the development of new applications of IMS.... The book accomplishes the objectives outlined by the authors... The CD [is] a useful and practical addition to this book... Overall, this book should be useful to experts in IMS research as well as those new to the technology. As a practical book, it offers a well-balanced combination of theory and application... I highly recommend it to anyone interested in IMS."
