ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry in an electronic chip assembly,, including an input section, an ion filter and detection section and a control section, in which ion filtering proceeds in a planar chamber under influence of high field asymmetric periodic signals, with detection integrated into the flow path, for producing accurate, real-time, data for identification of a broad range of chemical compounds.
