Development of the portable mass spectrometer and its application in environmental monitoring

Abstract

We reviewed the current key techniques of portable mass spectrometer and discussed its application in environmental monitoring. At present, mass spectrometer has two development directions. One direction is high-throughputs, high-sensitivity and high-resolution laboratory mass spectrometer. The other is small, in-situ monitoring portable mass spectrometer. With the rapid development of electronic technology and new materials, portable mass spectrometers are widely used in environmental pollution monitoring because they have the advantages of small size, light weight and low power consumption.
