CONCLUSIONS

B. Chromatographic interface

trivial; size, complexity compatible

with ionization detectors.

C. Analytical performance may

approach functionality of tandem

MS for faction of costs

A. DMS DMS with fixed SV and CV provide response with

selectivity and response time at 100 ms---->10ms.

D. Suitable for portable GC

ChemRing Detection Systems…..aid in electronics and

software.
