Ion mobility spectrometry goes back some 40 years, under the name plasma chromatography, but only recently, and conjoined with mass spectrometry, is it being applied in the real world, and
instruments are hitting the shelves. Here researchers and practitioners discuss fundamentals, instrumentation, and applications. Their topics include measuring ion mobility in a gas jet formed
by adiabatic expansion, a cryogenic-temperature ion mobility mass spectrometer for improved ion mobility resolution, multiplexed ion mobility spectrometry and ion-mobility-mass spectrometry,
metabolomics by ion mobility-mass spectrometry, profiling and imaging tissues, deciphering carbohydrate structures with applications in biological features related to carbohydrate chemistry and
biology, and the conformational landscape of biomolecules. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
