Abstract
An apparatus and method for analyzing a sample containing multiple analytes that combines a separation device that separates the individual analytes by virtue of some physical and/or chemical characteristic other than the mass to charge ratio (m/z) interfaced with a mass spectrometer that detects the m/z of individual analytes. Separation is performed on the shorter timescale than signal detection with the mass spectrometer. A preferred embodiment utilizes an ion mobility spectrometer interfaced with an Orbitrap mass spectrometer.
