High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry
From Mass Spec Terms
| DRAFT DEFINITION | 
| High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry | 
|---|
| The separation of ions between two concentric cylindrical electrodes due to application of a high voltage asymmetric waveform whereby ions migrate towards one of the two electrodes depending on the ratio of the high- to low-field mobility of the ion. | 
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission | 
| This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment. |
