Overview:

Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS) provides sensitive and fast headspace analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a variety of sample types.

The FAIMS unit has an ATLAS sample chamber capable of heating and agitating samples for analysis. Sample analysis can be completed in a matter of minutes from a wide range of sample types.

Features:

• Highly selective and sensitive sampling system
• Detection levels in low ppb range
• Fast analysis of samples (<5 minutes)
• Can detect a wide range of compounds including amines, ketones,
  aldehydes, alkenes, alcohols, alkanes, aromatics and more.

Applications:

Analysis of clinical samples including urine and stool; Environmental samples

Warwick capability:

Gas Chromatography - Time-of-Flight - Mass Spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS)
