Owlstone Nanotech and Agilent are to develop Owlstone's field-asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) filter as a front-end separation module for Agilent's time-of-flight mass spectrometers.
The goal is to determine how the systems can work together to identify previously unresolved analytes.
The collaboration will also explore how FAIMS can speed up liquid chromatographic separations, saving valuable analysis time.
