Coupling of liquid chromatograph with ion-mobility spectrometer

Abstract

The paper presents the results of studying the system of a liquid chromatograph (LC) coupling with an ion-mobility spectrometer (IMS) with orthogonal electrostatic deflection of ions obtained by the electrospray method at high flow rates of the liquid under analysis (200 to 300 microL/min), which ensures stable operation of the LC/IMS analytical setup without separating the liquid flow leaving the liquid chromatograph column.
