With recent advances in ionization sources and instrumentation, ion mobility spectrometers
(IMS) have transformed from a detector for chemical warfare agents and explosives to a …

Linear drift tube ion mobility spectrometry (DTIMS) is widely used in standalone and
hyphenated IMS instruments for detecting trace chemical compounds. As a temporal …

High kinetic energy ion mobility spectrometry (HiKE-IMS) allows for sensitive trace gas
analysis within seconds, mitigating many disadvantages of standard ion mobility …

The hidden presence of fentanyl and new psychoactive substances in established illicit
drugs has led to a great number of unintentional fatal overdoses, justifying the urgent need …

Every drift tube ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) has an optimum drift voltage to reach
maximum resolving power. This optimum depends, among other things, on the temporal and …

An electrospray is a dispersed nebula of charged droplets produced under the influence of a
strong electric field. The charged droplets subsequently result in ions in the gas phase …

Ion gate is a key buildup for drift tube ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and its combination
with mass spectrometry. Bradbury–Nielsen gate, as the most commonly used ion gate in …

A simple space compression-dispersion model for ion transport at ambient pressure was
mathematically established. On the basis of this model and aided by SIMION simulation, a …

In our previous work we proposed a three-zone theory for the Bradbury–Nielsen (BN) gate
and proved with a grid–BN structure ion mobility drift tube that enhancements of the three …

Noted as a rich source of thebaine and a potential alternative to Papaver somniferum for
production of codeine and some semi-synthetic antagonist drugs (namely naloxone and …
