Abstract
Since hyphenated methods have all but replaced one-dimensional methods in the laboratory and demands for definitive field methods are increa sing, hyphenated methods may well represent the next generation of fie ld-portable analytical instruments. Gas chromatography-mass spectromet ry (GC-MS) and GC-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) are discussed in terms of their current capability and potential for further developmen t as powerful field-portable instruments.
