Abstract
This chapter provides a broad overview of ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) and its applications in separation science, with a focus on pharmaceutical applications. A general overview of fundamental ion mobility (IM) theory is provided with descriptions of several contemporary instrument platforms which are available commercially (i.e., drift tube and traveling wave IM). Recent applications of IM-MS toward the evaluation of structural isomers are highlighted and placed in the context of both a separation and characterization perspective. We conclude this chapter with a guided reference protocol for obtaining routine IM-MS spectra on a commercially available uniform-field IM-MS.
