Ion Mobility MS Workshop @ ASMS 2013

ASMS

Every year, the Ion Mobility MS Interest Group organizes a workshop that is held during the American Society for Mass Spectrometry Annual Meeting. Preliminary information for this year’s workshop is outlined below. Please contact Matt Bush with any suggested topics, questions, or speakers for this workshop.

Ion Mobility MS: New Instrumentation & Enabling Technologies

Tuesday, June 11, from 5:45 – 7:00 PM (Minneapolis Convention Center, Room TBD)

The performance of conventional and differential ion mobility mass spectrometers has escalated dramatically in recent years, which can be attributed to improved separations, more efficient ion transfer, and tighter integration of ion mobility devices into hybrid instruments. These improvements enable intricate and sensitive experiments probing mobility selected or separated ions, which has led to the adoption of ion mobility technologies in a wide range of applications, including challenges in gas-phase ion structure determination, native mass spectrometry, proteomics, and systems biology. We will showcase the latest developments in ion mobility mass spectrometry instrumentation and discus remaining challenges.
