Experimental Validation of an Analytical Model for Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry

A new type of ion mobility method termed, trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS), has been recently shown to offer many attractive features including: rapid (ms) gas phase separations, a compact design enabling efficient integration with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, the ability to tune the experimental parameters in accordance with the analytical challenge, and resolving power exceeding 250). This poster presents a method to experimentally validate an analytical model that predicts the transient time and the resolving power.
