What Does FIMS Stand For?
FIMS stands for Field Ionization Mass Spectrometry
FIMS, or Field Ionization Mass Spectrometry, is an advanced analytical technique used for the detection and analysis of ions in gaseous and condensed phases. This method employs a high electric field to ionize samples without the need for thermal energy, allowing for the precise measurement of mass-to-charge ratios of molecules. FIMS is particularly valuable in applications such as environmental monitoring, chemical research, and the characterization of complex molecular structures due to its ability to analyze low volatility and high molecular weight compounds with minimal fragmentation.
