Advances in microfabricated mass spectrometers.
Mass filters for miniature mass spectrometers are now being constructed using three-dimensional microfabrication techniques. Crossed-field, travelling-wave, time-of-flight, quadrupole and cylindrical ion-trap filters have all been demonstrated, with steadily increasing mass range and mass resolution. This paper reviews the range of available devices and the state of the art.
