Table 3.
Drift Tube Ion Mobility Spectrometry Parameters.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Trap Fill | 10000 μs |
| Trap Release | 100 μs |
| Drift Tube Entrance (Single-Field only)† | 1574 V |
| Drift Tube Exit | 224 V |
| Rear Funnel Entrance | 217.5 V |
| Rear Funnel Exit | 45 V |
| Maximum Allowed Drift Time | 60 ms |
Voltages shown were those used for positive mode, while negative polarity mode utilized the negative values of each.
†Drift tube entrance voltage was used for all replicates in the single field method. For the stepped field method values for the APCI(-) tune mix ions analyses, please consult the main text.
