Ion Mobility Spectrometry-ortogonal accelaration time of flight spectrometry (IMS-oaTOF)
IMS-oaTOF system is focused to study:
- formation of the ions in the atmospheric pressure discharges
- the mobilities of the ions in different drift gases
- trace gas detection
A schematic view of the tandem IMS-oaTOF apparatus is shown in the Figure.
The IMS-oaTOF system consists of home made IMS spectrometer, differentially pumped vacuum system and is equipped with home made linear ortogonal acceleration time of flight spectrometer.
