… FAIMS is the first of many possible techniques based on nonlinear ion motion, and others should emerge as nonlinear IMS science matures and the progress of electronics and miniaturization of hardware enable faster and more elaborate manipulation of electric fields in time and space. …
—From the Preface
The first book on the subject, Differential Ion Mobility Spectrometry explores a new analytical technology that separates and characterizes ions by the difference between their mobility in gases at high and low electric fields. It also covers the novel topics of higher-order differential IMS and IMS with alignment of dipole direction. Incorporating some of his own unpublished research, the author integrates the fundamental physics of high-field ion mobility with practical considerations of FAIMS implementation. He presents extensive FAIMS work from the Russian literature, including material previously unavailable in English.
