Handheld Miniature Ion Trap Mass Spectrometers

For field applications, “miniature” and “rapid” have become almost synonymous, yet these small mass spectrometers are not useful if performance is too severely compromised. (To listen to a podcast about this feature, please go to the Analytical Chemistry website at pubs.acs.org/journal/ancham.)
