A single peak method Is used tocalculate a resolution value equal to the theoretical number of peaks that can be sepa-rated prior to (and with the same dimensions as) the peak from which the measurements are made. This IMS resolution can be calculated by R= l/2Wh, where R Is IMS resolution, t Is the Ion drift time In milliseconds, and tVh Is the temporal width of the peak at half height In milliseconds. An equation showing the dependence of IMS resolution on various In-strumental parameters Is derived to beR= f/[IV02+(44.2 kTt/qEL) 2] 1/2, where W0 Is the peak width of the Initial Ion plane, k is Boltzmann’s constant, T Is absolute temperature, tIs the drift time of the Ion, q Is thecharge on the Ion, E Is the electric field In the Ion drift region, and L Is the length of the Ion drift region.Whenever ion mobility spectrometry, also known as plasma chromatography, is discussed as an analytical technique, questions arise concerning its resolution. Just how well can this technique separate one ion from another? How does its resolution compare with that of mass spectrometry? Or, should its separation power be discussed in terms of chromatographic resolution?
