Selected Ion Flow-Drift Tube Mass Spectrometry: Quantification of Volatile Compounds in Air and Breath [PDF]
A selected ion flow-drift tube mass spectrometric analytical technique, SIFDT-MS, is described that extends the established selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS, by the inclusion of a static but variable E-field along the axis of the flow tube reactor in which the analytical ion-molecule chemistry occurs.

Repeatability of the measurement of exhaled volatile metabolites using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry [PDF]
Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS, has been used to determine the repeatability of the analysis of volatile metabolites within the breath of healthy volunteers, with emphasis on the influence of sampling methodology. Baseline instrument specific coefficients of variability for examined metabolites were as follows: acetone (1%), ammonia (

Quantification of volatile metabolites in exhaled breath by selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS [PDF]
Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS, is a non-separative method for direct quantitative analyses of volatile compounds, VOCs, in air and humid breath based on chemical ionization. Selected reagent ions, either H3O+, NO+ or O2 + (non-reactive with major components of air), ionize analyte molecules during a defined time in a flow tube by ...
